The article originally read: (United technologies) sold it again to SGS-ATES in 1981.

However the MostekLives site states that it was purchased not by SGS, but Thompson, and in 1985, not 1981. Anyone have more sources we can compare?

At the time, or perhaps shortly thereafter, it was SGS-Thompson, which is now STMicro. I'm not sure about the date. --Brouhaha 18:27, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
Thompson first bought Mostek from UTC in October, 1985. Mostek had indicated that it was going to close down and run out the fab line. A few days after that Mostek and Thompson came to an agreement and the company was sold. Thompson and SGS formed SGS-Thompson after that time. That company is now STMicroelectronics. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Colonyrice (talk • contribs) .

[edit] Etymology of the name

Does origin of Mostek name (Metal Oxide Semiconductor) need explanation? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.159.157.84 (talk • contribs) .

I think so. Please be bold and add an explanation!
