Intel is being constructed 450mm wafer fab
Amid a flurry of speculation, Intel Corp. confirmed that its new fab in the United States is being constructed for the 450-mm wafer era.
Still, there’s a lot of work to be done in the 450-mm tool arena. 450-mm fabs could appear in 2018-at the earliest.
Right now, more than 90 percent of the equipment supply base is involved in some form of 450-mm development, though most these still hold public positions of never.
