Intel and Micron in Singapore for NAND

Intel and Micron have just opened a factory in Singapore for the manufacture of 25 nm NAND on the waters of 300 mm. It will be managed by the joint venture IM Flash Singapore. The plant represents an investment of $ 3 billion. It is expected to employ 1,200 workers when it reaches full capacity by the end of the year.

This is one of the first plants of its kind in the Lion City and its Prime Minister, Lee Hsien Loong, spoke during the opening ceremony to welcome the new jobs it represents. 6 employees of the plant out of 10 Singaporeans. The plant has released its first water a month earlier than expected and the first results are very positive.

This plant is also a symbol of partnership between Intel and Micron signed there are now more than five years (see "NAND Memory: Intel signs with Micron") and seems to be beneficial.
