From the Hyundai Electronics website (interesting, the direct reference to antidumping laws): hei.co.kr HEI (President : Kim Young-Hwan) succeeded commercial production at its plant in Eugene, U.S. HEI 's semiconductor plant, which was bulit in Eugene, Oregon, last May, succeeded in mass-production, starting with 28,000 sheets of 8-inch wafers last month, and expects to process more than 30,000 wafers a month toward the end of this year. While other semiconductor plants usually take 6 months to start mass-producing after operation begins, HEI ' plant shortened more than 2 months with its excellent processing technology and stable operation of its equipment, and also has successful probe yield ratio of 85% which means the ratio of producing quality semiconductor chips with wafers. The company plans to produce 6 million 64M-DRAM chips by the end of this year, and then increase output to 60 million chips and sales to $400 millions by next year, applying technology for 0.22 micron circuit width. Presently more than 70% of 64M DRAM produced at its plant in Eugene are for PC-100 which fetche profitable price and have good market share, and HEI plans to develop the entire products of 64M DRAM to be supplied for PC-100 by November. HEI 's plant enabled HEI to avoid trade obstacles such as anti-dumping charges, to deal with U.S. buyers, the world's biggest semiconductor buyers, to supply the products in time to the U.S. market, and also to build and work with soild cooperation with world's leading DRAM buyers by accepting their various needs. HEI 's semiconductor plant in Eugene, U.S. was built with the investment of $1.3 billions from HEI's subsidiary branch(HEA : Hyundai Electronics America), has 25,000 pyung(206 acres) of plant site. has the capacity to produce 30,000 8-inch wafers a month, and plans to expand its equipment depending on the market situation.
