ABSTRACT
As 2004 came to a close, concern within the industry focused on the
softening of IC global demand and the growing threat of over-capacity
that could trigger another downturn. Taking a rough cut of end of year
market analyst's projections it would seem we are heading for a static
or at best low digit figure growth in 2005. In stark contrast to this
softening business environment, 300mm fab activity has set a record
pace in 2004 and perhaps even more surprisingly, 2005 looks set to be
thebreak the 2004 record. We track all the major movements for this
quarter and provide insight into the 2005 big build, as well as
providing updates to capacity ramp rates within 300mm fabs around the
world.
