UMC Group readies 0.18-micron process, IP library
David Lammers

Sunnyvale, Calif. - UMC Group said it is ramping 0.18-micron (drawn) process capacity now for foundry-service customers, and will be at 12,000 wafers per month by the middle of this year. UMC also is in the process of validating 0.18-micron cores at the physical level from many of the leading commercial intellectual-property (IP) vendors, and is expanding a "free IP" program for core customers.

Total 0.18-micron wafer capacity will increase to 18,000 wafers per month by the end of the year, and 0.18-micron will be the most cost-effective technology by this time next year for its foundry-service customers, said Ray Cisneros, a product manager at UMC USA here.

By the second half of 1999, UMC plans to offer copper interconnects on five of the six metal layers, complementing the "low-k" fluorinated silicon dioxide being used as the interlevel dielectric.

Thanks Ken, that site is good. I've raised some cash in the last couple days, a little sooner than I like normally at this time of year but I think the market is due for a rest after earnings reports die down and I refuse to give back some major profits. I still have ALSC though, haven't sold any lately.
