Powerchip originally planned to build two 12-inch plants at the site sold to TSMC. But due to an industry slowdown, the DRAM maker has left a 12-inch fab idle after its shell construction was completed and postponed the construction of the other 12-inch facility.Source: DigiTimes
The sale follows Powerchip's recent announcement that the company has reached an agreement with Rexchip Electronics about overdue payments.
