Micron to reactivate 300-mm-wafer Lehi DRAM fab Oct. 13, 2000 (Electronic Buyers News - CMP via COMTEX) -- It's official: Micron Technology Inc. is readying its Lehi, Utah, DRAM fab for production of 300-mm wafers, more than four years after mothballing the plant amid a global slump in commodity memory prices. Steve Appleton, chairman, president, and chief executive of the Boise, Idaho, company, told financial analysts that Micron is close to installing a 300-mm-wafer pilot production line at Lehi, and, depending on market conditions, could start initial volume production in late 2002. Micron has been using the Lehi plant for back-end testing of finished DRAM for some time. The company also has excess capacity at some of the DRAM fabs acquired several years ago from Texas Instruments Inc. The decision to equip the Lehi site is seen as a competitive move to stay with a pack of rivals-including Hyundai, Infineon, and Samsung-that are putting in their own 300-mm-wafer lines. Infineon alone has three such fabs in the works. A 300-mm platter yields about twice the number of die per wafer as a 200-mm substrate.

zeev, i think avo reflects the lack of professionalism at rmbs. bottom line, they are trying their very best to threaten folks to capitulate to their way. i think it is an outward sign of aggression attempting to hide inner weakness.
