<Intel> moving towards 300 millimeter semi wafers.Cost will go down by 30%. Stock bull :Interesting ============== Wednesday June 9, 12:18 pm Eastern Time PALO ALTO, Calif., June 9 (Reuters) - Intel Corp., the world's largest computer-chip maker, on Wednesday said it will begin the move toward using 300-millimeter semiconductor wafers, a move long awaited by the chip-equipment industry. A lingering question in the semiconductor industry during the past year or more has been when the chip companies would move to the dinner-plate-sized wafers from the current salad-plate sized ones. Intel said expects to lower costs by about 30 percent for each chip made on the larger wafer. (This is a headline-only alert, although it will likely be followed by an article soon)
