ELPIDA AND POWERCHIP created a joint venture in Taiwan to create four fabs that will eventually churn out 240,000 12-inch silicon wafers a month.

The fabs will be built in Taichung Houli Science Park, but details of financing were not revealed.

The first fab will churn out 60,000 12-inch wafers and the clean room for that is already being installed, with mass production using 70 nanometre process technology starting in the third quarter of 2007. µ

INQ Poll

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
