This article, tho small, IMO, is critical. It implies that semi's either put up and increase capex, or they're out of business.

INGAPORE: CHIP MAKER PLANS
STOCK SALE Chartered
Semiconductor, among the world's largest
contract makers of computer chips, said it
would try to sell new stock to existing
shareholders. It hopes to raise $633 million to
help pay for a new factory to catch up with
rivals. Chartered's controlling shareholder, the
government-owned Singapore Technologies, had already agreed to pay more
than $380 million to take up its portion of the rights issue. But Chartered said it
would offer its new shares at less than half the price existing shares traded at
last week, an announcement that helped send Chartered's stock tumbling 24
percent.
