Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
          On February 27, 2007, OmniVision Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, OmniVision International Holding Ltd., a Cayman Island company, entered into a Foundry Manufacturing Agreement (the “Manufacturing Agreement”) with Powerchip Semiconductor Corp., a company duly incorporated under the laws of the Republic of China (“PSC”). PSC is in the semiconductor foundry business. Under the terms of the Manufacturing Agreement, the Company and PSC agreed to jointly develop certain process technology to enable the fabrication of the Company’s CMOS image sensors at PSC.
           Upon completion of the process development and subject to PSC’s fulfillment of certain terms and conditions, the Company has agreed to purchase its required quantity of wafers from PSC in accordance with the purchasing specifications approved by the parties. As a down payment for the purchase of the wafers, the Company has agreed to make a refundable, interest-bearing deposit of $4,000,000 to PSC, and this deposit will be applied as credit towards future wafer purchases. In addition, the Company and PSC shall share in the ownership of the intellectual property created in connection with the process development. However, PSC will not have the right to use the process technology or the Company’s intellectual property for its own use or for any third party without the Company’s prior written consent.
          The foregoing description of the Manufacturing Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement. A copy of the Manufacturing Agreement will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2007.
