Ma: Do not rule out the opening 12-inch wafer fabs to invest in the mainland

future semiconductor suppliers in Taiwan to relax investment in the mainland, do not rule out opening 12-inch wafers, the idea is by the "ministry" which assessed. "Ministry of Economic Affairs," another pointed out that the manufacturing sector will be made in the open by the end of July to review the landing report.

"Presidential" press release quoted Mr Ma pointed out that Intel (Intel) is go to China, Taiwan is not only the continent as the factory, but the market, the hope that Taiwans products to place in the mainland market, which is the financial crisis brought important lessons.

"The mainlands domestic market is very important for us, the shows potential is quite amazing," Ma said.

Ma Ying-jeou on Friday in the "Office of the President" interview to the U.S. Applied Materials (Applied Materials), chairman and MAX1673ESA datasheet and CEO Shibinlinte (Michael Splinter), the made the conversation.

Intel entered China in 1985, its plan to build 12-inch F68 in Dalian fab will start in the first half of 2010, the total investment amount of 2.5 billion. Intel built in Shanghai and MAX1673ESA price and Chengdu, chip testing and MAX1673ESA suppliers and packaging plant, and has four R & D centers in China, and laboratory.

Ma Ying-jeou took office last May after the cross-Strait relations towards detente, Taiwan, Taiwan has gradually relaxed the ceiling on investment land, and is scheduled to open this month announced the implementation of mainland investment in Taiwan 100 industries, and the next stage is to review high-tech industry in mainland China to further relax restrictions on investment.

"Ministry of Economic Affairs," Secretary Du Zijun said Saturday, "Industrial Council" scheduled to open in July raised the manufacturing sector report on the review visit.

Taiwans Economic Daily reported on Saturday that "the Industrial Development Bureau," a substantial tendency to adopt an open, semiconductor plant no longer has total control of land investment, technical process may also be relaxed to 12-inch, 65 nm or more below the 8.5 generation LCD panel plants, petrochemical and other major investments, have the opportunity to shift to a high standard of review of an ad hoc basis.

Du Zijun responded that this is purely media speculation, "Industrial Council" will be done by industry and the overall technical evaluation.

In the high tech industry, Taiwan is only open eight-inch and 0.18-micron semiconductor manufacturing process, and the low-end packaging and testing, another key industry panels, only the opening film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) module and a rear section 4 inch below the middle of the process landing. As for the petrochemical industry, upstream naphtha cracker also prohibited.
