LONDON — Cricket Semiconductor—a company set up with the purpose of building and operating $1 billion analog and power semiconductor wafer fab in India—will operate as a specialty foundry, according to Lou Hutter, one of two former Texas Instruments executives who formed the company.
Cricket Semiconductor's plan is to break ground in 2016 on the wafer fab and to begin producing chips for customers in 2018, Hutter said in email correspondence to EE Times Europe. And Cricket has plans for additional fabs in the future although the company is focused right now on getting its first wafer fab constructed.
