The expansion to be completed by mid-1997 and will more than double current DRAM production capacity. The new facility will process 8-inch wafers by initially using 0.32 micron technology, moving to 0.25 micron technology in 1998. Fujitsu's Durham plant will produce 16-Megabit DRAMs initially, and will add 64-Megabit DRAMs within two year.
The plant also can be adapted to provide other products in the future. In making the facility enhancement announcement, Fujitsu cited what the company IC marketing director in Europe, Geoff Peppiette, called 'the buoyant worldwide market situation for DRAMs, which is expected to continue well into the future.'
