I'll bet that the "big buyer" that Pat mentioned in post #17899 knew about this. Good eyes!

Shakush, especially nice within the article you posted..." NEC joins a small number of chip companies planning to launch 300-mm-wafer fabs with feature-size processes of 0.15 micron or less. Intel Corp. has said that its first 300-mm-wafer fab, in Fort Worth, Texas, will use .13-micron processes. By contrast, Siemens Semiconductor has said that its first 300-mm-wafer fab, which has yet to be given a timetable, could start with 0.18-micron capability. That fab will probably be located in Dresden, Germany. Chip makers such as IBM Microelectronics, STMicroelectronics, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd., Texas Instruments Inc., and United Microelectronics Corp. have said that they, too, will build 300-mm-wafer fabs, but have set no dates for construction and initial operation." ... Although CYMI may retrace some, we've probably seen the lows. Jim
