Share-based Compensation Arrangement by Share-based Payment Award [Line Items]        
Deferred compensation arrangement with individual, description On September 22, 2009, we entered into an employment agreement (the “Agreement”) with Dr. Keh-Shew Lu, President and Chief Executive Officer (the “Employee”), pursuant to which he will continue to be employed by us in such positions for an additional six-year term. As part of the Agreement, we and the Employee entered into a Stock Award Agreement that provides that: (i) we shall grant to the Employee 100,000 shares of Common Stock in the form of restricted stock awards on each of April 14, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015; (ii) each such installment would vest only if we achieved $1 billion net sales; (iii) upon the termination of the Employee’s employment, our obligation to grant any subsequent installment would terminate; and (iv) any granted shares would be automatically forfeited and returned to us if the Employee’s employment with us is terminated before we achieve the specified target amount of net sales, except in the case of death or disability (as defined) in which case the granted shares would become fully vested on the date of death or disability. The estimated fair value of this grant is approximately $12 million and is being expensed on a straight line basis through April 14, 2015. As of December 31, 2014, five annual installments have been granted and are included in the above table as granted but not vested. As of December 31, 2014, no installments have vested.
