Prince Charles will officially open Plessey Semiconductors’ new UKP50m custom microchip plant at Roborough, Plymouth in Devon next Tuesday, May 5; Plessey claims that the plant will be the first in Europe capable of producing applications-specific CMOS integrated circuits on six-inch silicon wafers at sub-micron resolutions, although production, which started late last year, is currently focussed at the two micron geometry level; Plessey says it will introduce 60 new semiconductor products this year.
