(3) All Other NEOs refers to all named executive officers, other than the PEO, who were designated as such under the SEC’s executive compensation disclosure rules based on their position and the compensation paid to them during the relevant year shown in the chart. All Other NEOs for each year consists of the following officers: for 2022, Messrs. Trent, Keeton, Jatou, Tong and Hopkin; for 2021, Messrs. Trent, Keeton, Jatou and Hopkin, as well as former officers George H. Cave and Bernard Gutmann; and for 2020, Messrs. Keeton, Hopkin and Gutmann, as well as former officer William Schromm. (4) Represents one-, two- and three-year cumulative TSR. To illustrate peer group TSR, we selected the PHLX Semiconductor Sector Index (SOX), which we also use for comparison purposes in the five-year cumulative stock performance graph included in our annual report to stockholders. Our TSR performance relative to a smaller group of peer companies is a key performance metric in determining compensation actually paid to our NEOs, as identified below under “Most Important Performance Metrics.” (5) For purposes of this chart, we have selected revenue as our company-selected metric (CSM). (6) The totals in these columns reflect amounts reported in our SCT for the applicable year. (7) To calculate compensation actually paid (CAP), the corresponding SCT total was adjusted as detailed below as required by SEC rules. For a reconciliation of SCT to CAP, please see the next two tables. | | |

| Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return [Text Block] | | The following graphs illustrate how CAP compares to each of the performance metrics in the main Pay versus Performance table. For 2020, the year in which we had two PEOs, the figure used for PEO CAP is their combined CAP for that year. As discussed in our CD&A, annual equity awards represent the most significant portion of each executive officer’s compensation. In addition, Mr. El-Khoury’s initial compensation package, granted in late 2020, included an award of PBRSUs with payout tied to our two-year TSR performance as compared to a defined group of peer companies. As a result, over the three-year period covered by the table, CAP to PEO aligns most closely with our TSR. | | |
