300-mm fab activity in the first 5 months of 2003 has increased
considerably. Japan, China, and Taiwan are the countries where
construction projects are most active. However, European projects are
continuing, while the US seems to be lying low, with only Intel active
with 200-mm to 300-mm conversion projects. The lull in the number of
tool installs as projected in the last report has not helped the
equipment vendors in this time period. However 4th quarter 2003 plans
to be a busy time as major projects ready cleanrooms for the first
phase of tool installs. Here we highlight the developments in Japan
with the ‘mini-fab' approach and the continued 300-mm expansion plans
of Infineon around the world.
