 M+W Zander has said that it was selected by an undisclosed customer to be the general contractor for engineering, procurement and construction of the most advanced semiconductor fab in China, worth contractually $400 million to the firm. The fab was being built in Dalian, north-east China.
A ground-breaking ceremony was held on September 8, 2007 for the new facility, which will have a cleanroom of approximately 20,000 square meters in size. Construction is planned to be completed in the second quarter of 2009. Interestingly, in March 2007, Intel Corporation announced that they were to start construction of Fab 68 in the coastal Northeast China city of Dalian in Liaoning Province at a cost of $2.5 billion. Intel said at the time that Fab 68 construction would begin later this year with production projected to begin in the first half of 2010.
