Our Values
Qimonda – What the name stands for
As a global company we have named ourselves Qimonda which works in all languages and cultural
environments. Qimonda carries different meanings and allows associations in different languages.
The word "Qi"of chinese origin stands for flowing or breathing energy, while the combination of the
English word "key" and the Latin word for world "mundus" is intuitively understood in the Western
World as "key to the world" or as we say: "Qimonda." Our name has universal qualities and it
reflects our strong global footprint in R&D and manufacturing, our worldwide customer base and
our highly motivated employees who are dedicated to becoming the world's leading creative memory
company.
Creative
A creative spirit encourages us to look for new and original answers. Creativity means blending the past with innovations to shape the future – it’s about rearranging what we know now to discover something we do not yet know.
Passionate
Passion allows us to release our energy freely – reaching upwards and outwards to further our goals and ideals. In a world constantly being redefined and expanded, enthusiasm for change and new answers is a powerful energizing force.
Fast
Speed isn’t just about being quick. It’s also about agility in responding to change. And in a world where everything can turn upside down at breakneck speed, you’ve got to be willing and able to adjust your direction in the blink of an eye.
Innovation is the key
By leveraging the creative and passionate spirit that pulses through our veins, we go beyond ordinary memory products to provide innovative, integrated memory solutions. Qimonda is the key to an exciting new world. But be careful – our enthusiasm is infectious!
Q-Facts:
Nanometers, which are used to measure the widths of our transistors, are so small that even a white blood cell is more than 100 times larger. To facilitate further shrinking, increasingly sophisticated manufacturing processes are needed, including advanced mask and photolithography techniques for printing the circuitry on the chip.
