AUSTIN (Austin American-Statesman) – Samsung Electronics Co.
Ltd. expects to complete the $500 million renovation of its northeast Austin
chip manufacturing plant by the end of March, over one month ahead of schedule.
More than 1,000 construction workers are converting Fab 1 into an annex for
the neighboring Fab 2, which is the largest chip manufacturing plant in North
America.
Samsung will hire 200 workers before production begins at Fab 1 and Fab 2, which
are to be renamed Copper Fab and Main Fab, respectively.
Production at the plant will begin in June on advanced NAND flash memory chips
for portable media players.
