LONDON – The world's leading foundries are facing difficult times due to the creation of too manufacturing capacity, according to Paul Otellini, president and CEO of Intel Corp., the world's leading chip maker.
"I think the foundry business is in big trouble over the next few years," Otellini told analysts at a conference here Thursday (Feb. 17) and accessed by EE Times by a telephone replay. He put it down to "significant overcapacity" mainly due to attempts to grab market share by new player Globalfoundries Inc. (Sunnyvale, Calif.). On Friday in Hillsboro, Oregon, Otellini said Intel would build a wafer fab in Arizona and create 4,000 U.S. jobs in 2011.
