建300mm 晶圆生产线的最大好处是提高产量和降低成本,从而获取更大的利润。目前全球200mm 晶圆生产线约有几百条,1998年为252条;已建、在建和计划建设的300mm 晶圆线约有40余条,其中美国10多条,台湾10多条和欧洲、日本、韩国及新加坡等10多条。Semico 调研公司分析师 Joanne Itow 说:“受成本、效益因素的驱动,半导体生产必将转向更大的晶圆尺寸”。据 Dataquest 公司预测,2001年全球300mm晶圆生产设备销售额占全球晶圆设备销售总额的25%,2002年约占35%～40%,2005年将占65%。又 The biggest benefit of building a 300mm wafer fab is increased production and lower costs for greater profitability. At present, there are about 200 wafer production lines in the world around 200 and 252 in 1998. There are about 40 300mm wafer lines under construction, planned and planned, including 10 in the United States, more than 10 in Taiwan and 10 in Europe, Japan, South Korea and Singapore more than 10 articles. Joanne Itow, an analyst at Semico Research, said: “Driven by cost and efficiency, semiconductor manufacturing is bound to shift to larger wafer sizes.” According to Dataquest’s forecast, global 300mm wafer fabrication equipment sales accounted for 25% of the global wafer equipment sales in 2001, 35% -40% in 2002 and 65% in 2005. also
