AMD partial takeover of 30,000 wafer per month FAB !?!?!

According to the newspaper, AMD may take a more active role in managing the fab too.

Currently, the fab is working at under half capacity but flash memory will be one of the first semiconductor types to recover when the IT sector regains momentum.

There had been suggestions only a few weeks back that AMD might take over the Gresham plant, but that was denied by representatives at the firm.

that Fujitsu tripled its initial expansion plans in Oregon. Announced four months earlier in January, the original expansion design called for boosting chip output in Gresham to 10,000 wafers a month. Explains Shirai, "The company decided to triple the goal to 30,000 wafers per month to meet the robust demand for flash memory in cellular phones, handheld wireless devices and other mobile products."

But while production capacity will triple, the new plan involves a more exponential increase in capital expenditures. Fujitsu's original expansion plan to boost Gresham's fab output to 10,000 wafers a month only called for a $60 million investment.

Fujitsu officials say that part of the expansion will entail equipping a vacant Gresham plant that had been mothballed during a business downturn. The expansion will also involve adding manufacturing equipment to a second existing plant, they add.
