200mm was the standard a few years ago.
- georgeburdell 3y agoI was in the industry for a decade and never saw 200mm
- dragontamer 3y ago200mm was also called 8-inch wafers.
- georgeburdell 3y agoI think you’re missing my point. I have since come and gone from a decade-long career in semiconductors, and it’s always been 300mm for logic. 200mm is early 2010s at the latest
- dragontamer 3y agoI'm under the impression that USAs lines are mostly 200mm though. It's not like anyone throws away a fab line just because a better one was made elsewhere. I swear I read an article about new 200mm lines being setup somewhere. Demand keeps growing even for older lines. I guess to your point is that 300mm is the standard for any top-end line in the past decade? Which is good info for sure.
