NEC Electronics plans to construct a second 300-mm wafer fab on the NEC Yamagata Ltd. campus.

The factory would be adjacent to a 300-mm wafer fab currently under construction, and occupy an area of 11,500 square meters. The new building is designed to have a production capacity of 10,000 wafers per month when equipment is fully installed and operational.

Construction is scheduled to start in May 2004, with completion slated for December 2004.

NEC's original plan, to create a 300-mm wafer line with a monthly production capacity of 4,000 wafers, within an existing NEC Yamagata building has been moving forward since late 2003. A decision to add an adjacent building would allow NEC to meet increasing demand flexibly, the company said.
