AMD's Fab 36 on schedule
AMD marked an important milestone in the construction of its next-generation 300 millimetre (mm) manufacturing facility, AMD Fab 36, with a "topping-off" ceremony held in Dresden, Germany earlier today.
"Less than six months after we broke ground for AMD Fab 36, the first significant phase of our 300 mm wafer fab project has been completed successfully, and we are well on our way to meeting our overall project schedule," said Hans Deppe, vice president and general manager for AMD Saxony. "We have now begun to install the necessary infrastructure that will allow us to be ready for equipment towards the end of the year in preparation for our planned first production shipments in the first half of 2006."
