Chartered 233 Million U.s. Dollars In Cash Hitachi Plant In Singapore

To enhance the 8-inch plant that mainstream mature technology capacity to 233 million U.S

. dollars cash in Singapore Hitachi Semiconductor Singapore plant (HitachiSemiconductorSingapore; HNS), the next month will increase by approximately 24,000 8-inch wafer production capacity to inject 0.15 ~ 0.25 micron technology capacity, while for existing customers will be homeopathic Renesas Semiconductor (Renesas) OEM, This is the TSMC, SMIC, the other an 8-inch wafer fab plant capacity expansion.

Chartered said it had reached an agreement with Hitachi Semiconductor, will acquire 100 percent stake in HNS. HNS in Singapore has an 8-inch plant, the whole amounting to about 233 million U.S. dollars. Chartered said the acquisition will be followed to achieve both customer production needs, while new customers will make the current distribution is more diverse customers, the contract with the HNS also include its not only for Renesas semiconductor foundry Some products, estimated value of about 2.5 billion to 300 million U.S. dollars.

Chartered analysis, 1st quarter 2008 will be to complete the transaction and the related capacity switching, the same time, will not have financial implications. This second-hand 8-inch plants, covering about 90,000 square meters, plant area is about 28,000 square meters, clean room area is about 1.2 million square meters, enough to provide monthly 0.15 ~ 0.25 micron technology mainstream mature 8 inch wafer is about 24,000. Thus by conversion, an average of 1,000 wafers per unit of investment 700 million. Chartered CEO Chia Song Hwee

said the deal to license under the speed of the fast expansion of 8-inch plant capacity, and show not just the pursuit of advanced technology license, mature technology for the mainstream market can meet the needs of our customers. It is learned that the original Chartered Semiconductor in 2008 capital expenditure budget for the scale of 590 million U.S. dollars, and now through the acquisition of second-hand 8-inch plant, the next revision of the company's 2008 capital expenditure of approximately 4,000 million dollars, the cost of further capital expenditure, economy.

It is noteworthy that, in the foundry, TSMC, SMIC, Chartered, the world's advanced 8-inch plants are actively expanding production capacity. TSMC recently purchased Aitemeier (Atmel) 8 old equipment invested by TSMC has also acquired the world's advanced Winbond 8 inch plants; SMIC is hosted in Chengdu into a core, and 8 inches in Shenzhen to build plant, this time based Chartered geographical convenience, Hitachi also took over the 8-inch plant in Singapore.

With Hitachi's semiconductor production facilities in Singapore to further dispose of, the Hitachi semiconductor manufacturing has gradually moved out of the ranks, reported that in the past few years, Hitachi's DRAM business will be sold to Elpida (ElpidaMemory), the other would chip LSI get rid of the cause to Renesas (RenesasTechnology).

Reported that Hitachi Semiconductor Singapore by the Hitachi, NipponSteel and the Singapore Investment Fund was established in July 1996, Hitachi followed in 2004, all the control, for the main production of micro-controller chip, LCD driver IC, etc. .
