AMS is to fab wafers in New York under an innovative deal with the State.
A public-private funding deal will see New York State pay for the building of a fab designed to an AMS spec with AMS leasing and operating the fab for 20 years.
It will be an analogue fab of which the first stage will be an eight inch 130nm facility capable of 150k wafers a year with the possibility of expansion to 450k wafers per year.
The deal is structured so that it avoids AMS paying depreciation costs on the fab and equipment.
Over the 20 years lease, AMS is expected to spend $2 billion on the fab.
The fab will be built at the Marcy Nanocentre at Utica and will be the first fab to be built at Marcy which is owned by the SUNY Polytechnic Institute.
SUN Poly also owns the Nanotech Megaplex in Albany where GE is setting up a power electronics packaging facility focussed on SiC devices.
“The Mohawk Valley is beginning an economic revolution around nanotechnology,” said New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo when announcing the AMS and GE deals.
Construction of the 200/300mm AMS fab will start in the Spring of 2016 with first silicon out by the end of 2017.
The fab will create 700 full-time jobs and 500 jobs at contractors, sub-contractors, suppliers and partners.
