NEC Electronics Corp. will increase production capacity at its fab in Roseville, Calif., adding a 0.15-micron process to the facility’s 8-inch wafer line, according to a statement issued Monday (Oct. 6) by the Japanese company’s U.S. subsidiary.
Installation of additional equipment for the 0.15-micron process will roughly double capacity of the 8-inch line, which was added in 2007, NEC said. The 8-inch line has been in production since April and is expected to reach full production in March 2009, the company said.
