Intel's new wafer fab under construction in Leixlip, Ireland, will begin production in 2H02, a year later than originally planned. The microprocessor manufacturer said the delay will allow it to launch production there on 300mm wafers. The project, first announced last June, initially was planned as a 200mm fab. The new fab, known as Fab 24, will be Intel's second facility dedicated to 300mm. The fab is also expected to be the first high-volume 300mm fab in Europe.
