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 ...
[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.
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.
First silicon wafer manufacturing facility in Arizona. Key architecture was the 286 microprocessor. Fab 7 Rio Rancho, New Mexico, U.S. 1980 2002 2005 (converted to test facility) Production focused on flash memory chips. By the time production stopped, plant was producing 0.35 micron-6 inch wafers.
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 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 ...
Prices for pieces of equipment for the processing of 300 mm wafers range to upwards of $4,000,000 each with a few pieces of equipment reaching as high as $340,000,000 (e.g. EUV scanners). A typical fab will have several hundred equipment items. Semiconductor fabrication requires many expensive devices.
