All, Article...Intel to shift flash fab to 0.25-micron... February 3, 1998 Electronic Engineering Times via Individual Inc. : Folsom, Calif. - Trying to regain lost market share and boost sales for its flash memories, Intel Corp. this week will announce plans to spend $1 billion over the next two years to convert its Fab 9 flash memory plant to run a 0.25- micron process using 8-inch wafers. The process, which will be almost identical to the one used on the company's Pentium II lines, will enable Intel to eventually scrap its EPROM-based process. Intel expects to start shipping a 16-Mbit flash based on the new process in the second quarter, followed shortly by 8-Mbit boot-block and 64-Mbit Strataflash chips. By 1999, Intel will use the process to produce1.8-volt boot-block parts and 3-V Strataflash devices, company officials said. The new process will yield four times as many chips per wafer as Intel's current process, and will increase production capacity and improve margins. ______________________________________________________________________ Regards, Michael
