Asian Chip Manufacturing Capacity Growing at Double Digit Rate Reports In-Stat
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Dec. 3, 2007 Semiconductor manufacturing in Asia has been increasing at an impressive pace, and that trend will continue for at least the next several years, reports In-Stat (http://www.in-stat.com). Asian semiconductor manufacturing capacity will increase at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 10.8% from 2006-2011, the high-tech market research firm says.
"The pure play foundries are becoming more important as outsourcing from Integrated Device Manufacturers (IDMs) is on the upswing," says Mayank Jain, In-Stat analyst. "Pure play foundries have maintained their lead in developing leading-edge process technologies. DRAM and Flash manufacturing capacity in the region is also witnessing substantial growth."
Recent research by In-Stat found the following:
-- There were twenty-five 300mm fabs operational in the Asia Pacific region in 2006.
-- Singapore will experience the highest growth rate due to fresh investments from leading memory makers.
-- In 2006, Taiwan had the most 300mm capacity, followed by South Korea.
