Intel plans for converting new fabs from 200mm to 300mm

Splinter said there is no overall plan to use 200-mm "bridge tools" for conversion to 300-mm wafers at the Chandler and Ireland fabs. "If we can take advantage of any 300-mm retrofitted tools, we will certainly do so. However, I believe the later conversion to 300-mm tools will involve a fair amount of replacement of equipment," Splinter added.
