DORTMUND, Germany and SEOUL, South Korea, July 4, 2011: MagnaChip
Semiconductor Corporation ('MagnaChip Semiconductor') (NYSE: MX), a
Korea-based foundry, designer and manufacturer of analog and mixed-signal
semiconductor products, and ELMOS Semiconductor AG ('ELMOS') (FSE: ELG), a
Germany-based designer and manufacturer of analog and mixed-signal
semiconductors primarily for the automotive industry, jointly announced
that MagnaChip Semiconductor ramped production and started delivery of
0.35µm automotive qualified processed wafers to ELMOS.

MagnaChip and ELMOS entered into a cooperative agreement to jointly develop
automotive semiconductor process technologies in 2008. As a result of this
partnership, both companies successfully developed and qualified 0.35µm
process technologies targeted at products for the automotive semiconductor
market.

These jointly developed process technologies are fully qualified for the
demanding conditions and certification requirements of automotive
semiconductors. This now provides MagnaChip with a significant process
technology advantage and allows ELMOS to procure processed wafers
manufactured according to automotive standards from another source apart
from its own manufacturing facilities in Germany.

TJ Lee, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Corporate Engineering
and SMS Engineering of MagnaChip Semiconductor, commented, 'This is a key
step in expanding our specialty technology portfolio into the automotive
market segment. Our goal is to continue to manufacture highly
differentiated and cost-effective products for our customers. We aim to
build strategic relationships with world-class partners through outstanding
customer service and delivery of quality products. We are very proud to be
associated with an automotive industry leader like ELMOS, a partnership
which has allowed MagnaChip's foundry services to enter and serve the
fast-growing automotive semiconductor market.'

Reinhard Senf, Chief Operating Officer of ELMOS, says, 'We are pleased to
announce that the successful transfer of our automotive process technology
now results in a fruitful supply relationship from MagnaChip Semiconductor
to ELMOS. The diligent process transfer and true dedication of MagnaChip
Semiconductor to the automotive market are warrantors for excellent
quality. ELMOS and our customers will benefit from the enhanced flexibility
that ELMOS gains through this additional manufacturing source. We look
forward to continue and broaden our cooperation with MagnaChip
Semiconductor.'
