       Form 10-K for Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2021

       General

   1.                                                   We note that you
provided more expansive disclosure in your Corporate Citizenship
                                                        Report (   CCR   ) and
on your website than you provided in your SEC filings. Please
                                                        advise us what
consideration you gave to providing the same type of climate-related
                                                        disclosure in your SEC
filings as you provided in your CCR and on your website.

   2.                                                   Disclose the material
effects of transition risks related to climate change that may affect
                                                        your business,
financial condition, and results of operations, such as policy and regulatory
                                                        changes that could
impose operational and compliance burdens, market trends that may
                                                        alter business
opportunities, credit risks, or technological changes. For example, your
                                                        CCR appears to identify
300mm advanced analog manufacturing as a technological
                                                        development related to
climate change, noting its lower emissions and energy

explain the potential
         impact to the company.

4.       It appears you have identified climate-related projects in your CCR,
such as energy
         efficient projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Tell us how you
considered
         providing disclosure regarding past and future capital expenditures
for climate-related
         projects. Include quantitative information for the periods covered by
your Form 10-K and
         for future periods as part of your response.
5.       To the extent material, discuss the indirect consequences of
climate-related regulation or
         business trends, such as the following:

                decreased demand for goods or services that produce significant
greenhouse gas
              emission or are related to carbon-based energy sources;
                increased demand for goods that result in lower emissions than
competing products;
                increased competition to develop innovative new products that
result in lower
              emissions;
                increased demand for generation and transmission of energy from
alternative energy
              courses;
                any anticipated reputational risk resulting from operations or
products that produce
              material greenhouse gas emissions; and
                potential climate-related opportunities, such as the
development of semiconductors
              for use in technologies with lower energy consumption and
greenhouse gas
              emissions.
6.       We note your disclosure that climate change might exacerbate natural
occurrences such as
         severe weather or cause natural disasters to occur with greater
frequency. Please discuss
         the physical effects of climate events on your operations and results,
such as weather-
         related damages to your property or operations, and weather-related
impacts on the cost or
         availability of insurance. Include quantitative information with your
response for each of
         the periods covered by your Form 10-K and explain whether increased
amounts are
         expected in future periods. In addition, please discuss the potential
for indirect weather-
         related impacts that have affected or may affect your major customers
or suppliers.
7.       We note your disclosure on page 12 regarding the potential costs of
compliance with laws
         and regulations, including those relating to the environment and
climate change. Tell us
         about and quantify any compliance costs related to climate change for
each of the periods
         covered by your Form 10-K and explain whether increased amounts are
expected to be
         incurred in future periods.
8.       If material, please provide disclosure about any purchase or sale of
carbon credits or

         offsets and any material effects on your business, financial
condition, and results of
         operations. Include quantitative information for the periods covered
by your Form 10-K
         and for future periods as part of your response.
        We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for
the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action
or absence of
action by the staff.
