MOT, STM, Phillips to jointly build 300 mm fab in Crolles, France according to Reuters. TSMC to participate in the area of process development. Initially will use line widths of 90nm and will scale down from there. Article cites cost of 300 mm fab at 3 billion but the partners are only investing 1.4 billion. There is no explicit explanation for the disparity but may be due to there being a pre-existing plant owned by STM and Phillips.
