Spirit Media's location in North America's 'Silicon Forest' positions the creative firm close to some of the world's leading technology companies. TriQuint Semiconductor, Inc. of Hillsboro, Oregon, is the leader in high-performance RF components for wireless communication. With 2300 employees on four continents, TriQuint recognizes the importance of maintaining industry standards throughout the company. A number of TriQuint employees produce and handle wafers that are made of gallium arsenide, a fragile crystal of gallium and arsenic that breaks like glass. Operating in a highly sensitive work environment where particle contamination or improper procedures can result in lost revenue, following protocol is mandatory.
When TrIQuint needed to deliver a cohesive message to anyone entering a fab facility, TriQuint turned to the creative team at Spirit Media. Spirit Media collaborated with TriQuint to produce a ten-minute training/introductory video for new and existing employees or visitors and vendors who frequent the manufacturing facility's clean room environments. Working over a series of TriQuint night-shifts, Spirit Media taped various scenes for the educational video to demonstrate key topics such as proper wafer handling, approved fab room attire, and clean room safety procedures. Spirit Media consulted with TriQuint on the 8 minute video script for flow and message clarity. A detailed shot sheet kept production hours and costs in check, and created a road map for the entire production. Post-production for the video project included voice talent acquisition, graphic design, editing and mastering for distribution on DVD and for streaming on the web.
TriQuint Semiconductor designs, develops and manufactures advanced high-performance RF components for wireless communication with Gallium Arsenide, Surface Acoustic Wave, and Bulk Acoustic Wave technologies. The company is a leader in market diversity serving customers in mobile handsets, 3G and 4G cellular base station, WLAN, WiMAX, GPS, defense and aerospace markets.
