TriQuint Semiconductor Completes Expansion of Oregon Wafer Fabrication Facility

Hillsboro, OR. TriQuint Semiconductor, Inc. (Nasdaq:TQNT) announces the completion of the wafer fabrication facility expansion project in Hillsboro, OR. The expansion creates an additional 35% increase in the clean room area within the existing manufacturing complex. The additional clean room floor space is being used for the continued increase in production of 4" wafers and future conversion to 6" (150 mm) wafer manufacturing. The facility expansion was completed on budget and ahead of schedule by two months.

Commenting on the expansion, David Pye, TriQuint s Vice President of Operations stated, "This additional space gives us the flexibility to continue our production ramp, qualify the 150 mm process, and install the capacity to produce 150 mm wafers."

Installation of new wafer fabrication equipment in the additional space has already begun. It is expected that this equipment will be qualified and in production within four weeks.
