The expansion project is planned to increase production capacity of advanced system large-scale integrations (LSIs), which require cutting-edge 90-nanometer processing technology. MEI plans to begin construction in May 2004 and launch production toward the end of 2005. The company has been involved in the digital home electronics market with its 0.13-micron processing system LSIs with a vision to help the development of miniaturization min·i·a·tur·ize tr.v. min·i·a·tur·ized, min·i·a·tur·iz·ing, min·i·a·tur·iz·es To plan or make on a greatly reduced scale. min technology. MEI plans to increase the supply of further advanced system LSIs focusing on five key areas: DVDs, digital TVs, mobile communications equipment, secure digital memory cards and network-related equipment. The new plant, which will be equipped with the 90-nanometer production process for 300 mm diameter wafers wafers compressed roughage in flat plates useful for feeding to animals in transit. , will start production at the end of 2005 and eventually increase production capacity to 7,500 wafers per month. |
