In 2003, Intel has stopped work in the field of contract semiconductors manufacturing . The relevant unit was restored in 2010. Since then, Intel Custom Foundry developed in a little over two years, a couple of small clients.
Direct confirmation of Intel's plans to increase sharply contracting activity was detected by our colleagues . Over the past two weeks on the site of microprocessor developers in the career appeared hundreds of new job offers. Almost all of them, one way or another, relate to the production of semiconductors in the unit Intel Custom Foundry.
Massive recruitment of new staff obviously means that Intel is preparing to work with major clients. After three or four years, Intel will expand production to 450-mm wafers. Only for its decision, it can not load the ever-expanding line. By this time, the company should have a staff of qualified specialists and a full order book.
