Intel's estimated wafer costs, when it still expected 450mm wafers to be A Thing. With multiple companies pulling out of G450C and no clear roadmap for the technology, it seems safe to conclude ...

The Entegris products selected by the G450C comprise a comprehensive wafer handling solution that includes 450mm Multiple Application Carriers (MAC), 450mm Front Opening Pod (FOUP), 450mm Single ...

“The move to 450 mm manufacturing is a certainty.,” according to Bill Shaner, vp and GM at Entegris which has secured a grant from the City of Colorado Springs to set up a 450mm development centre in ...

Intel's experimental D1X foundry is starting its 450mm wafer ramp. The new wafer sizes could substantially lower costs per chip, but the upfront CapEx will be substantial. Share on Facebook (opens ...

The first 300mm wafer production began in 2001, ten years after the first 200mm wafers started to come off the production line. The transition to 450mm wafers will take a little longer than past ...

The semiconductor industry is moving to 450mm wafer sizes in the next few years, and semiconductor equipment manufacturers need to position themselves now to reap the benefits. The best way is to ...

It’s funny to see Intel, TSMC and Samsung saying they want 450mm wafer manufacturing. Wouldn’t any device manufacturer? The question is: Will Samsung, Intel and TSMC pay for it? As sure as eggs are ...

The Intel fab — known as D1X module 2 — is intended to be a development fab for production of ICs on 450mm diameter wafers. However, the breaking of ground for the wafer fab was not widely reported at ...

Back in May, Intel partnered with TSMC and Samsung to announce their intention of developing and deploying 450mm wafer starts by 2012. The shift from 300mm (12" diameter wafers) to 450mm was ...

The transition to a new wafer size coincides roughly with Intel’s plans to start manufacturing chips using a more advanced, 22-nanometer process in 2011. The transition to 450mm wafers will help ...

H-Square introduces the first 450mm wafer handling vacuum wand at Semicon Japan. The battery powered portable vacuum wand (Freedom WandTM) is Class 1 (ISO-3) cleanroom compatible and has ample vacuum ...
