Highlights
- Of the 1075 facilities listed, 973 facilities are in operations while the
others are planned fabs (with various probabilities).
- Since our last publication (May ' 09 edition):
- We' ve made 369 changes on 272 facilities.
- We' ve added 45 facilities: more than half are LED facilities.
- We' ve noted that 16 facilities were closed or cancelled.
- Fab construction spending in 2010 is expected to increase by about 74% to
about US $2.8B (May ' 09 edition reported US$3.5B), with about 23 construction
projects.
- Fab spending on equipping fabs is expected to increase by about 63% to
about US $21.5B in 2010 with about 95 projects spending on equipment.
- Overall installed fab capacity for 2009 will decline by about 2.6%, to
about 15.3 million wafers per month, due to closure of some fabs. In 2010,
total capacity is expected to increase by about 4.4% to over 16.0 million
wafers per month.
- In 2009, seven facilities (including MEMS, LEDs and R&D) are expected to
begin (or have begun) construction with three in the Europe/Mideast region,
three in the Americas, and one in China.
- In 2010, 15 facilities are expected to begin operations [11 volume fabs
plus one Back-End-Of-Line (BEOL)]. - These consist of two memory fabs, four
foundries, and four discrete related fabs.
- Nineteen facilities closed in 2008. About 31 facilities are expected to
close in 2009 and about 16 facilities will close in 2010.
