The new China fab will skip production at the 90nm process node and go directly to 65nm, the most cutting-edge chip manufacturing technology approved by the US government, said Jefferson.
Construction of the structure for Fab 68 is expected to complete by the end of third-quarter 2009 with equipment installation to follow in the fourth quarter, Jefferson indicated. The fab in Dalian has already recruited 500 employees and the workforce will grow to 1,200-1,500 following its production ramp-up, he said.
