Intel Corp. said it has begun a $2 billion construction project to convert its Arizona fab from a 200- to 300-mm facility.
The conversion of Fab 12 in Chandler is scheduled to be completed in late 2005. The converted facility will begin initial production on 65-nm process technology.
When completed, the converted Fab 12 will become Intel's fifth 300-mm wafer facility. Intel's has two 300-mm fabs in Hillsboro, Ore., and one each in Rio Rancho, N.M. and Leixlip, Ireland.
"This conversion will not only enable us to improve our capital efficiency by giving us more than twice the capacity at significantly lower costs, but it will enable us to utilize our experienced and talented workforce in Arizona," Intel said.
