DIONICS, Inc. was founded over 40 years ago, devoted to the commercialization of a unique semiconductor manufacturing technology: Dielectric Isolation, or "DI." The company derived its name from that technology: "DI-electronics." Started in the late 1960's, the company was dedicated by its founders to supply the industry with unusual semiconductor devices that were based on the numerous advantages of the DI construction. Prior to that effort, the DI construction was being used in the industry only to manufacture radiation-hard ICs for the Minuteman ICBM.

We expanded the boundaries for the technology, and moved it into the commercial arena. Starting with a DI chip containing a matched transistor pair as its first product, we have progressed through a series of industry firsts:
