Introduction
300mm and 450mm Watch is a database in Excel 2000 format covering 138 announced 300mm projects and 8 - 450mm projects complete with project detail and output projections through 2020.

Who should buy this product
This product is designed to serve the needs of anyone who is interested in tracking 300mm and 450mm projects:

Analysts.
Marketing managers at equipment companies.
Semiconductor companies doing competitive analysis.
Fab construction management and design companies.

What is included in the database

450mm sheet - a list of articles and commentary on 450mm. This sheet also includes graph of number of companies operating 200mm and 300mm wafer fabs and future forecasts of 300mm and 450mm fabs.
300mm and 450mm Database sheets - entries for each project. To the extent that the data is available, each entry includes the lead company and any partners involved in the project, the location and name of the project, the project status, percnetage production by linewidth and future target linewidth, ground breaking, 1st wafer and production dates, cost, products targeted, number of jobs, fab size and wafer capacity , a projection of output by year from 1998 to 2015 and key announcements and commentary.
Capacity analysis - six graphs covering fabs on-line and worldwide capacity by year, fabs online by type (production versus development), capacity by year by product and capacity by year by country.
Ramp - how does the ramp-up of 300mm compare to the 200mm ramp.
Factory revenue - an analysis of the revenue required to fill Microprocessor, DRAM, Foundry and DSP fabs at 300mm.
Cost savings - compares Microprocessor and DRAM fabs running 130nm linewidth on 200mm wafers to 130nm and 90nm linewidths on 300mm wafers.
Cleanroom size - output versus cleanroom size by fab type.
Output - the number of fabs running within each output range versus time.
Output 2 - the average production fab output versus year.
Leaders - for the seven companies projected to have the largest 300mm capacity the capacity by company by year.
Cost - cost versus planned capacity by fab type.
Cost 2 - calculated fab cost versus output for AMD microprocessor, Intel microprocessors, Samsung Flash and DRAM and TSMC foundry process all at 65nm. This data has been validated against actual costs.
Cost 3 - calculated fab cost versus output for AMD microprocessor, Intel microprocessors, Samsung Flash and DRAM and TSMC foundry process all at 45nm except Samsung Flash at 40nm. This data has been validated against actual costs.
Cycle Time - 200mm versus 300mm fab cycle time.
Automation - diagrams of 200mm versus 300mm automation schemes.
