450mm May Never Happen, says Micron CEO
February 11, 2014
450mm may never happen, according to Mark Durcan, CEO of Micron, the world’s fourth largest semiconductor company.
“I am not convinced that 450mm will ever happen but, to the extent that it does, it’s a long way out in the future,” says Durcan, “there is not a lot of necessity for Micron, at least over the next five years, to be spending a lot of money on 450mm. There is a lot of investment that needs to go on in the equipment community to make that happen. And the value at the end of the day – so that customers would buy that equipment – I think is dubious.”
