ABSTRACT
The big news for the quarter was Intel's announcement of a new 300mm fab.
We take a look at this as well as highlight that more is planned from the company!
Plans rather than actual groundbreaking have also been a strong feature of the
quarter, especially in Taiwan. Activity in Japan is still ongoing while China has
cooled. What's hot is the pure-play foundry space, which is changing faster than
in any other area. This report therefore concentrates on a general round up and
overview of the regional 300mm fab activity for the period and pinpoints the
changes taking place in the foundry sector.
