 Dai Nippon Printing Co. Ltd. (DNP) plans to start construction of a leading-edge (65nm & below) photomask plant in the Hsinchu Science Park in Hsinchu, Taiwan in April 2007. The new facility - its first in Taiwan - is being built to meet the expected increase in demand for photomasks in the country requiring feature sizes below 65nm in the coming years as well as meeting requests for shorter supply chain and better technical collaboration.
DNP will invest ¥20 billion in the building's manufacturing facilities that will include a building area of 2,829m2, total floor space of 9,538m2, with a class 1 environmental clean room. Mass production is expected from September 2008 onwards.
