 C 07-2638 JSW (EDL) (CONSOLIDATED WITH C 07-2664 JSW) 

STIPULATION

WHEREAS Alpha & Omega Semiconductor, Inc., Alpha & Omega Semiconductor, Ltd. 

(collectively “AOS”) and Fairchild Semiconductor Corp. (“Fairchild”) are parties to the above 

captioned matters; 

WHEREAS AOS filed a Motion for a Protective Order Pursuant to Civil L.R. 7 to 

Prohibit Disclosure of Confidential Information to Richard Blanchard (“Motion for a Protective 

Order”) (Docket #79); 

WHEREAS on December 18, 2007, the Court conducted a hearing on AOS’s Motion for a 

Protective Order and ordered the parties to engage in further meet and confer efforts to discuss 

possible terms on which Dr. Blanchard could have access to information that AOS designates as 

“Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” or “Confidential” pursuant to the Protective Order 

entered in this case (“AOS confidential information”); 

WHEREAS the Court continued the hearing on AOS’s Motion for a Protective Order until 

January 22, 2008, and ordered the parties to submit a joint update by January 15, 2008 detailing 

the results of their meet and confer efforts; 

WHEREAS, Fairchild reserves the right in the future to request that Dr. Blanchard be 

permitted to access AOS confidential information not addressed in the agreement set forth below; 

WHEREAS the parties have met and conferred as ordered and reached an agreement on 

the following terms, in addition to those set forth in the Protective Order, on which Dr. Blanchard 

may have access to AOS confidential information: 

Until three (3) years have passed after the earlier of (1) the conclusion of this litigation or 

(2) the last day on which AOS confidential information is disclosed to Fairchild: 

(a) Dr. Blanchard will only have access to AOS confidential information regarding the 

technical design, manufacture, or operation of AOS’s low-voltage (i.e., 200V or 

less) trench power MOSFET devices. Dr. Blanchard will be prohibited from 

reviewing any information that does not concern these products, including but not 

limited to AOS confidential information concerning high-voltage (i.e., more than 

200V) or planar products; 

(b) Dr. Blanchard will not have access to any AOS confidential information regarding 

AOS’s agreements with its foundries, including without limitation the terms of 

agreements with foundries or assembly sub-contractors, including but not limited 

to wafer pricing and quantities, and volumes for any foundry manufacturing;

(c) Dr. Blanchard will abstain from any involvement in consulting activities—

including but not limited to research, product development, engineering, 

manufacturing activities, or intellectual property development—relating to lowvoltage trench power MOSFET products and technology, except that Dr. 

Blanchard shall be allowed to consult on this litigation for Fairchild as well as on 

the litigation currently pending between AOS and Siliconix; 

(d) Dr. Blanchard will abstain from being a named inventor on or otherwise authoring 

or filing any patent application in the field of low-voltage trench power MOSFET 

technology. To allow Dr. Blanchard to pursue intellectual property based on ideas 

he has developed prior to reviewing AOS’s confidential information, Dr. 

Blanchard will not be given access to any AOS confidential information until 

February 11, 2008, during which time Dr. Blanchard may file applications for 

patents, which he may continue to pursue after February 11, 2008 so long as he 

does not add any new matter to the applications on file as of February 11, 2008; 

and 

(e) Dr. Blanchard will abstain from authoring any paper or publication, in the field of 

low-voltage trench power MOSFET technology, except that Dr. Blanchard shall be 

allowed to author papers or publications concerning historical developments in the 

field of low-voltage trench power MOSFET technology that are reviewed and 

approved by AOS before publication. Dr. Blanchard shall tender any draft of a 

historical paper or publication to AOS for review and approval no later than fortyfive (45) days before the anticipated publication date. Dr. François Hébert, or 

another designated representative of AOS, will review and approve for publication 

any draft of a historical paper or publication within twenty (21) after receiving the 

draft so long as the draft does not contain, reflect, or reveal any AOS confidential 

information. 

IT IS THEREFORE STIPULATED by and between the parties, through their undersigned 

counsel of record that Fairchild and Dr. Blanchard will comply with the above terms, in addition 

to those set forth in the Protective Order, regarding Dr. Blanchard’s access to AOS confidential 

information. In light of Fairchild and Dr. Blanchard’s agreement to comply with these terms, 

AOS withdraws its Motion for a Protective Order.
