The US-chartered company is
owned by Samsung Electronics,
the giant $60-billion Korean
high tech company, and is
Samsung’s only semiconductor
manufacturing facility outside
of Korea. In June 2007,
Samsung Electronics opened its
new 300mm fabrication line
adjacent to the existing 200mm
plant in northeast Austin. This
new fab will bring greater cost
competitiveness to Samsung
Austin Semiconductor.
The size of nine football
fields, the 300mm fab is the
largest fab of its kind in the
U.S. This new facility will be
capable of producing the latest
in NAND flash chips using design
technology in the 50 nanometer
range. |
