ProMOS China fab mass production schedule not affected by quake
The magnitude 7.8 earthquake in Sichuan province of China will not affect ProMOS Technologies' 8-inch fab mass production schedule set for the third quarter of 2008, according to company chairman ML Chen.
Chen indicated that operations at ProMOS' Chongqing fab in Sichuan province is normal, with electricity supply not being affected by the earthquake. Only a few lithography equipment stopped operating during the quake but operations resumed soon afterward, he said. ProMOS is well prepared for any earthquake due to its rich experience gained from its Taiwan operations, Chen stressed. As already scheduled, ProMOS will gradually relocate its 8-inch wafer production facilities from Taiwan to the China fab. The 8-inch fab in Taiwan, which is now running at peak utilization rate, will transition to produce 12-inch wafers after all equipment is relocated. The company plans to complete the transition by the end of 2008.
