Spansion will invest about $1.2 billion in a 300-mm fab at its Aizu plant in Japan.
The new SP1 wafer fab is designed to help Spansion take aim at the embedded flash memory market for data storage and program code storage. The fab is scheduled to begin operations next year and will manufacture Spansion's MirrorBit flash memories using 65-nm process technology.
Spansion's technology roadmap seeks to scaled down process technology by one node a year. It ended 90-nm production last year, and 65-nm device development will be completed later this year and shift to volume production next year. Development of 45-nm devices will be completed in 2007, with production scheduled for 2008.
