Brian, Nice closing paragraph in the SBN version of the TSMC 300mm announcement. Infineon Technologies AG (formerly Siemens Semiconductors) and Motorola Inc. are already processing 300-mm wafer in a pilot/development facility located in Dresden, Germany. Several other chip companies are also expected to be in the first wave of manufacturers using 300-mm wafers in the next couple of years, including Texas Instruments Inc. in Dallas and Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. in Korea. Hmmmm, I wonder how long it will take Micron, Hyundai-LGSemi, and every other DRAM maker to decide they need 300mm too. I guess their other choice is to go out of business. :-) Ian.
