Actually, Atmel's situation is little different currently, The last thing Atmel or any semiconductor company needs in this world is another Fab. As far Atmel's Fab requirement goes, They have plenty of capacity in Europe, As a matter fact there most recent Fab 7 in Rousset,France is only doing 1,000 wafers a week, This Fab is Capable of ramping upto 7,500 wafers a week, Also they have more capacity available at Temic's Fab in Nantes, France. Atmel is closely working with its European telecom partners on a system on chip solution for mobile phone application, The last thing they would want to do is to get into fight with there customer, Over a Fab location. By the way Atmel's future fab is currently proposed to be built in Kulim Hi tech park,in Malaysia. That would be once the semiconductor market improves.
