Since in the beginning of economic crisis Intel company was forced to shut some enterprises for assembling and testing micros-chip, and to also stop two factories on the chips production . In this complex situation Intel did not forego financing the building of its first Chinese factory on the production of semiconductor chips. In the building Intel will engage about $2,5 billion, on its completion fab 68 had to begin the production of chipset on 90 nm technology.
Associate with the reference to Intel representatives reported that Fab 68 in the Chinese province will originally use 65 nm technology and 300 mm silicic plates. When the factory approaches the production of 65 nm chips, in other Intel enterprises will be already master series release of 32 nm processors. A similar delay of Chinese factory is explained by political limitations - U.S. Government does not permit corporations to export quite advanced technologies. However, 65 nm technical process is counted sufficiently old in order to be used beyond the limits of USA.
The building of fab 68 buildings will be completed in the following block, and in the fourth quarter of building equipment assembly will start . At the factory already begun to operate 500 workers, in proportion to passage to the mass production their quantity will rise to 1200-1500 men. In the following year fab 68 will start to release 65 nm component for hyperfine notebooks and other popular products. Related Products :
