Chinese fab opens
Semiconductor Manufacturing International has begun production at its 300mm fabrication plant in Beijing. The opening of the fab will help propel Beijing to a center for chip manufacturing in China. However, the new fab will have obstacles to overcome, including sandstorms during some months and a shortage of water. But industry analysts say the drawbacks can be overcome and Beijing will become an important location for chip manufacturing in China along with Shanghai.
