Motorola runs first silicon at its fab in China By Jack Robertson EBN (06/13/01 11:46 a.m. EST) Hong Kong -- Motorola has just completed running first silicon through its new 8-inch wafer fab in Tianjin,China, a company official told EBN Wednesday. Joe Yiu, Motorola vice president and general manager of the Semiconductor Asia Pacific region, said the first wafers were successfully achieved after three months. The Tianjin fab, called MOS-17, will continue qualification testing for the rest of this year and is expected to start production in early 2002, he added. The fab has capacity to process 3,000 wafers a week. Initially it will make Motorola's SmartMOS integrated logic, analog and power cores. The fab was put on hold for nearly a year before Motorola resumed equipping the facility early last year. Motorola's MOS-17 fab will join Hua Hong NEC Electronics Co., Shanghai, as the second 8-inch state-of-the-art fab in China. Construction of two other 8-inch foundry fabs, Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp., and Grace Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., are underway in Shanghai.
