Lepco finishes Sawtek fab
San Jose, Costa Rica
Lepco has completed a 33,000 square-foot back-end integrated circuit facility. The facility contains 7,500 square feet of Class 10,000 cleanroom space with several Class 1,000 zones. All design and construction was completed by Lepco including tool layout, hook-up and delivery of ultrapure process utilities. Since nitrogen is scarce in Costa Rica, Lepco installed the first two nitrogen generators in the country. The generators will provide 80 cfm ultrapure nitrogen into the cleanroom. — LAK
