To have or not to have a fab in India
BANGALORE, India – Several weeks back, a Palo Alto-based venture capitalist specializing in semiconductors said partnering with Israel rather than with U.S. or Taiwanese companies would be a great idea.
Whether or not the investor was aware of Tower Semiconductors’ plans for a 300-mm fab in India is now a moot point.

It is a technology source and not a manufacturing place.”
