Infineon looks to 70nm DRAM
A new building with a development cleanroom is to be built at Infineon’s Dresden plant by early 2005. Construction is scheduled to start in the middle of this year. When completed, the new complex will provide around 2300m2 of additional cleanroom space.
Investments totalling around EUR120mn will be spent on the project over the next two years. Infineon currently expects to take on about 120 new people in connection with the expansion in the current fiscal year.
Dr Harald Eggers, Memory Products senior vice-president and general manager, comments: "By expanding the development centre, we are taking another step forward and creating the space we need to develop the next-but-one technology generations at 70nm and below, which will enable us to secure our leading competitive position in this sector."
