[1] [5] Silterra Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. was formerly known as Wafer Technology (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. and changed its name to Silterra Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. in December 1999. [6] The company was founded in 1995 and is based in Kulim, Malaysia, with sales and marketing offices in San Jose, California; and Hsinchu, Taiwan.
An 8-inch, 0.25-micron wafer fabrication facility was built in Sama Jaya and became operational in 2001. [5] [6] By 2002, the cost of the fabrication plant swelled to RM 6.5 billion (US$1.7 billion). [7] In 2005, 1st Silicon announced the production of 0.13 micron wafers, first in Malaysia to do so. [8]
This is a list of semiconductor fabrication plants, factories where integrated circuits (ICs), also known as microchips, are manufactured.They are either operated by Integrated Device Manufacturers (IDMs) that design and manufacture ICs in-house and may also manufacture designs from design-only (fabless firms), or by pure play foundries that manufacture designs from fabless companies and do ...
In the same year, X-Fab (at this time owned by Belgian holding company named Elex N.V) [3] acquired Thesys and disposed of its non-foundry business. [2] In 2002, X-Fab acquired Zarlink wafer plant in Plymouth, United Kingdom. [2] In 2006, X-Fab merged with 1st Silicon, a semiconductor fabrication plant located in Sarawak, Malaysia. The Sarawak ...
In 1996, Munchy's factory was built in Johor, Malaysia, with 120,000 sq ft (11,000 m 2) of real estate and fully automated wafer technology.Considered the most advanced fully automatic wafer plant in South East Asia to date, three new products were revealed – Muzic Wafers, Munchini Wafer Rolls and Lexus Biscuits.
The chief executive of European computer chipmaker STMicroelectronics on Wednesday announced new plans to partner with Chinese foundry Hua Hong, arguing that having local manufacturing in China is ...
High purity silicon in different grades of purity is used for growing silicon ingots, which are sliced to wafers in a process called wafering. Compositionally pure polycrystalline silicon wafers are useful for photovoltaics. Dislocation-free and extremely flat single-crystal silicon wafers are required in the manufacture of computer chips.
In the early 1970s, MEMC opened a production plant in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and sent its St. Peters–produced 2.25-inch ingots there for slicing and polishing. [9] [16] In 1979, MEMC became the first company to manufacture 125mm (5-inch) wafers; in 1981 the first to produce 150mm (6-inch) wafers; and, in partnership with IBM, in 1984 the first to produce 200mm (8-inch) wafers.
