PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL

Siliconix designs, markets, and manufactures power and analog semiconductor
products. The Company focuses on technologies and products for the computer,
data storage, communications, and automotive markets; additionally, many of the
Company's products are also used in instrumentation, industrial, and hi-rel
(military) applications.

Founded in 1962, in the past decade Siliconix made a deliberate and
successful transition from serving broad-based industrial and hi-rel markets to
high-volume commercial business. Building strong customer relationships in the
computer, hard disk drive, and communications markets, Siliconix used its
technology and applications expertise to develop value-added products for power
conversion, power interface, and motor control. Today, these markets exhibit
design cycles as short as a few months and product life cycles as short as six
to twelve months, thus creating numerous new opportunities for the Company. The
automotive market, which is also a key segment for the Company, exhibits very
long design cycles, sometimes as much as four or five years, and product life
cycles as long or longer. Participation in both types of businesses helps the
company balance growth opportunities with research and development investments
required to maintain technology leadership.

PRODUCTS

All of the analog and power products produced by the Company can be divided
into two general classes: discrete devices and integrated circuits (ICs).
Discrete devices are active components that generate, control, regulate,
amplify, or switch electronic signals or energy. They must be interconnected
with other components (E.G., resistors, capacitors, inductors, etc.) to create
an electronic circuit. ICs consist of a number of active and passive
components, interconnected on a single chip, that are intended to perform a
specific function.

The Company's discrete devices include small-signal field-effect transistors
(MOSFETs, JFETs, and DMOS FETs), designed to handle less than one watt of power,
and power MOSFETs, designed to handle more than one watt.

Power MOSFETs are the Company's fastest growing products in terms of sales.
In this product line, Siliconix has focused on low-voltage products that are
prevalent in battery-operated products (E.G., notebook computers and cellular
phones) and in automotive systems. Siliconix has maintained technology
leadership in low-voltage surface-mount power MOSFETs through both silicon
technologies and product packaging. Advanced silicon process technologies, such
as the Company's "Trench" technology, offer very high cell densities and low
device on-resistance. These process technologies have been coupled with
innovative packaging techniques to create surface-mount product families, such
as LITTLE FOOT-Registered Trademark- and LITE FOOT-Registered Trademark- power
MOSFETs, that provide customers with size and performance benefits as well as
manufacturing compatibility with digital integrated circuits.

In the small-signal transistor area, Siliconix is among the market leaders,
offering technologies that range from very mature product lines (E.G., JFETs),
which remain critical for some applications, to proprietary processes, such as
the Company's lateral DMOS process, that offer performance advantages over
competitors' similar product lines.


2



Siliconix integrated circuits include power conversion and interface ICs,
motor control ICs, and signal processing ICs. The Company's power conversion
and interface ICs are based on low-voltage mixed-signal silicon processes that
offer customers higher frequencies and greater efficiencies than competitive
products. They are used in applications where an input voltage from a battery
or other supply source must be switched or converted to a level that is
compatible with logic signals used by microprocessors and other digital
components in the system. The Company's motor control ICs are used to control
motion in data storage applications (E.G., optical and hard disk drives) and to
control the speed of small motors in office equipment, such as copy machines.

The signal processing ICs supplied by Siliconix include analog switches and
multiplexers, and bus interface ICs. The analog switches and multiplexers are
primarily used in instrumentation and industrial equipment that receives and/or
outputs real-world analog signals. The Company's bus interface ICs are designed
for automotive applications, such as diagnostic equipment and multiplex systems.

The following table shows net sales and the percentage of the Company's net
sales attributable to the product categories for the periods indicated.

MANUFACTURING

Siliconix performs all of its wafer fabrication at its Santa Clara,
California manufacturing headquarters, where the Company maintains both a
conventional four-inch wafer fab and a Class 1 (clean room classification)
six-inch wafer fab. The four-inch wafer facility is used for the fabrication of
analog integrated circuits and low-power discrete products. The six-inch wafer
facility enables the fabrication of advanced power devices. Assembly and
testing of the Company's products are performed in Company facilities in Taiwan
and Shanghai, China, and by subcontractors in the Philippines, India, Taiwan,
The People's Republic of China, and Italy. The Shanghai facility is jointly
owned by Siliconix and the Shanghai Institute of Metallurgy. All of the
Company's manufacturing sites use Statistical Process Control-based methods of
total quality control and have ISO 9000 certification.

In 1995, the Company finalized plans to transfer the four-inch fabrication
production from Santa Clara to a third party foundry in Asia. It is anticipated
that substantially all of the continuing activities will be transferred by March
1997.

Raw materials used by the Company include single-crystal silicon wafers,
chemicals, gases, metal wire, and ceramic, plastic, and glass-to-metal packages.
Although these materials are generally available from two or more sources, the
industry has experienced difficulties in obtaining supplies of some raw
materials from time to time; such difficulties in the future could adversely
affect the Company's operations.


3



Government regulations impose various environmental controls on the discharge
of certain chemicals and gases used in the manufacturing process. The Company
believes that its activities substantially conform to present and anticipated
regulations and is constantly upgrading its Santa Clara facility to ensure
continued compliance with such regulations. In 1990, the Company reached a
settlement for cleanup of soil and ground water at a site the Company occupied
prior to 1972, with the current owner of that site, and settled a lawsuit
against its insurance carriers in 1992 and 1993 with respect to this matter.
The Company also established a remedial activity to remove soil and groundwater
contamination at its Santa Clara site in 1990. For details on these matters,
see Item 3, Legal Proceedings. While the Company has experienced only limited
effects on its operations from environmental regulations, there can be no
assurance that changes in such regulations will not impose the need for
additional capital equipment or other requirements.

SALES

In early 1992, the semiconductor division of the Daimler-Benz
Microelectronics Group, then an informal consortium consisting of Siliconix,
Telefunken Semiconductors, Matra MHS, Dialog Semiconductor, and Eurosil,
concluded that there were efficiencies to be gained by consolidating further the
roles of the members' sales organizations, thus eliminating the duplication of
many functions. Additionally, it was determined that the unity of these various
organizations would bring greater value to the customers by allowing them to
deal with one entity for all of their purchasing needs. In late 1992 an
implementation plan was begun to consolidate the sales functions of the members,
and an announcement was made that the new name of the Microelectronics Group
would be "TEMIC." This consolidation of the sales organizations was completed
in 1993, so that today the Company's products are sold worldwide by the TEMIC
sales organization, which also manages a worldwide network of sales
representatives and distributors. Specific advantages to Siliconix from this
arrangement are broader market coverage and lower sales costs.

In 1995, to further the goals of TEMIC, four sales companies were
established, TEMIC North America, TEMIC Asia Pacific, TEMIC France and TEMIC
Germany. These companies were established to fulfill all sales responsibilities
for TEMIC within their respective regions. TEMIC North America is a wholly
owned subsidiary of Siliconix incorporated; TEMIC Asia Pacific is a division of
TEMIC (S) Pte. Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Siliconix incorporated; TEMIC
France is a wholly owned subsidiary of Matra MHS; and TEMIC Germany is a
division of Telefunken Semiconductors. The sales companies function as agents
earning a commission as a fixed percentage of sales and perform all sales-
related functions under their legal names.

The following table shows net sales and the percentage of the Company's net
sales on a geographic basis for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands).

In 1995, one customer accounted for 13% of the Company's net sales. The
Company markets its products in different geographic areas as follows.

NORTH AMERICA: Sales are made by the TEMIC North America field sales force
and manufacturer's representative organizations, the latter being compensated by
commissions only. Area sales managers coordinate these representatives and the
TEMIC North America sales force. TEMIC North America has sales offices in or
near Santa Clara, California; Troy, Michigan; Annandale, New Jersey; and Dallas,
Texas.

Sales not made directly to the original equipment manufacturers are made
through distributors, which currently have approximately 200 locations
throughout the United States and Canada. TEMIC North America provides certain
distributors with contractual protection for their inventory against reductions
in published prices and against product obsolescence.

EUROPE AND AFRICA: Sales are made by the TEMIC France and TEMIC Germany
sales force and manufacturer's representative organizations. As in North
America, sales not made directly to the original equipment manufacturers are
made through distributors, with approximately 30 locations. The distributors
are provided with certain inventory obsolescence and price protections similar
to those granted to domestic distributors.

JAPAN: Sales in Japan are made by TEMIC Asia Pacific.

ASIA PACIFIC: Sales are made in Hong Kong, Korea, Taiwan, The People's
Republic of China and in Southeast Asia, by TEMIC Asia Pacific, headquartered in
Singapore. In these locations, as in the United States, TEMIC Asia Pacific
sells directly to original equipment manufacturers through TEMIC Field Sales
Engineers or through manufacturer's representatives. Direct TEMIC sales agents
and representatives are compensated by commissions only.

Sales in the rest of the world are made through manufacturer's
representatives, stocking representatives and distributors.

For further information, see Note 7 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements, which is incorporated herein by reference.

ORDER BACKLOG

As of December 31, 1995, the backlog of orders booked was $92.6 million.
The backlog as of December 31, 1994 was $65.7 million. The Company includes
in backlog only open orders which have been released by the customer for
shipment in the calendar year 1996. The Company's customers encounter
uncertain and changing demand for their products. They typically order
products from the Company based on their forecasts. If demand falls below
customers' forecasts, or if customers do not control their inventory
effectively, they may cancel or reschedule their shipments previously ordered
from the Company, in many instances without the payment of any penalty.
Therefore, backlog is not necessarily indicative of sales for any future
period.

COMPETITION

The semiconductor industry is highly competitive. Many of the Company's
competitors are larger companies with greater financial resources and limited
dependency on semiconductor products as their


5



sole source of sales and earnings. The Company has been able to compete
effectively by being selective in its choice of products and markets, and by
being a technology leader in those areas. Through closely established customer
relationships, the Company acquires in-depth applications know-how for the
markets it serves and develops products that specifically address customer
needs.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Research and development activities are directed toward expanding technology
leadership. Focus is on developing new products and processes, and activities
are ongoing to improve the cycle time from new product development to product
release. Total expenditures were $19.1 million in 1995, $15.8 million in 1994,
and $13.4 million in 1993. Significant effort has been expended on new power
products and ICs where continued rapid market growth is expected. See Note 2 of
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

PATENTS AND LICENSES

Siliconix protects its technology leadership by securing patents on
proprietary products and processes. As of December 31, 1995, Siliconix owned 88
U.S. patents, covering primarily semiconductor device structures, processes, and
circuitry. Expiration dates for these patents range from 1997 to 2014. An
additional six patents have been allowed but not yet issued. There were also 47
U.S. patent applications pending. The Company believes that, as it increasingly
utilizes these patents in the design and manufacture of its products, its
royalty obligations will decrease significantly. See Note 8 of Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.

EMPLOYEES

In 1988 through 1990, Siliconix reduced the number of employees through
attrition and through the elimination of jobs where efforts were duplicated
or automation has been employed to increase operating efficiency. In the last
three years, the total number of employees has remained relatively flat, with
only key positions focused on target growth areas being added. On December
31, 1995, the Company employed 1,269 people, of whom 860 were employed in the
United States, 393 in East Asia, and 16 in Europe.

There are no collective bargaining agreements between the Company and its
employees, and there have been no work stoppages due to labor difficulties. The
Company considers its relations with its employees to be excellent.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.

The Company owns its principal manufacturing plant and general offices which
are located in three two-story buildings totaling 220,100 square feet on a
12-acre site in Santa Clara, California. The Company recently purchased the
building adjacent to this facility, a two-story structure containing 14,500
square feet of general office space. Siliconix Limited currently occupies,
under an agreement with TEMIC UK Limited, a subsidiary of Matra MHS,
approximately 3,000 square feet of space in premises located in Bracknell,
United Kingdom, where the Company's European Headquarters are located. TEMIC
(S) PTE. LTD., also a subsidiary of the Company, occupies approximately 5,800
square feet of administrative space in premises in Singapore, where the
Company's Far East Administrative Headquarters are located. This space is
leased from AEG Aktiengesellschaft (AEG AG), an affiliate of the Company. TEMIC
(S) PTE. LTD. also leases approximately 20,000 square feet of manufacturing and
general office space in Manila from Telefunken Semiconductors, an affiliated
company. Siliconix (Taiwan) Limited, a subsidiary of Siliconix (Hong Kong)
Limited, owns a 50,000-square-foot portion of a building in the Nan-Tse Export
Processing Zone, a suburb of Kaohsiung, Taiwan, which consists of manufacturing
and general office space. TEMIC Japan KK, another subsidiary of the Company,
leases 1,100 square feet of general office space in Tokyo from AEG AG. Shanghai
Simconix Co. Ltd., a joint venture between the Company and the Shanghai
Institute of Metallurgy (the "SIM"), leases 19,200 square feet of manufacturing
and general office space in Shanghai from the SIM.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

In 1995, the Company was a party to two environmental proceedings. The first
involved property that the Company vacated in 1972. In July 1989, the
California Regional Water Quality Control Board ("RWQCB") issued Cleanup and
Abatement Order No. 89-115 both to the Company and the current owner of the
property. The Order alleged that the Company contaminated both the soil and the
groundwater on the property by the improper disposal of certain chemical
solvents. The RWQCB considered both parties to be liable for the contamination
and sought to have them decontaminate the site to acceptable levels. The
Company subsequently reached a settlement of this matter with the current owner
of the property. The settlement also provided that the current owner will
indemnify the Company and its employees, officers and directors against any
liability that may arise out of any governmental agency actions brought for
environmental cleanup of the subject site, including liability arising out of
RWQCB Order No. 89-115, to which the Company remains nominally subject.

The second proceeding involves the Company's Santa Clara, California
facility, which the Company has owned and occupied since 1969. In February
1989, the RWQCB issued Cleanup and Abatement Order No. 89-27 to the Company.
The Order is based on the discovery of contamination of both the soil and the
groundwater on the property by certain chemical solvents. The Order calls for
the Company to specify and implement interim remedial actions and to evaluate
final remedial alternatives. The RWQCB issued a subsequent order requiring the
Company to complete the decontamination. The Company has begun to comply with
the RWQCB's orders.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

None.
