rueters...The Colorado Springs plant, which has been running since 1983, is capable of producing integrated circuits (ICs) with line widths of 0.35 microns, now a lagging technology. LSI Logic's other plants in Tsukuba, Japan, outside Tokyo, and in Oregon are capable of producing chips at between 0.25 and 0.13 microns, the spokeswoman said.

Ibexx, LSI's Colorado Springs plant was acquired when LSI bought Symbios Logic (which started as NCR Microelectronics, was sold to AT&T and became part of their Global Information Solutions unit, which then sold it to Hyundai who then spun it off). The plant makes SCSI and other I/O devices, and mixed-signal ASICs designed at the Fort Collins facility. They've been upgrading the plant for years (4" to 6" to 8"), but in light of LSI's large and modern fab in Oregon (and LSI's new foundry agreement with TSMC) the Colorado plant was just dead weight.
