Hynix Semiconductor and ST Microelectronics's new 8-inch fab at Wuxi, China has completed production-related preparation and should start its pilot run in March with monthly capacity reaching 30,000 wafers during year-end, according to a Chinese-language Commercial Times report.
Hynix has also started constructing a 12-inch wafer production line and is scheduled to start wafer in from July with monthly capacity reaching 20,000 wafers during the first half of 2007, the report noted.
Despite the potentially vast demand for related testing and packaging, Taiwan players may still lose out on this batch of potential orders as they are still banned from making investments in China.
