FRANKFURT, Germany — Nov. 27, 2000 — Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company has selected M+W Zander to design and construct a 237,000 square foot cleanroom facility for TSMC’s new 300 mm wafer production in Hsin-Chu.
The approximately $32.5 million project is expect to be finished by April. Along with the new cleanroom, M+W Zander will also build processing and supply systems.
The new 300 mm facility, known as Fab 12, will serve as both a production and research and development facility. Production is scheduled to start in early 2002.
