ATREG announced that Ansemy has completed the sale of its 200mm wafer factory in Pocatelo, Idaho, to LASeconductor. Earlier, Ansemy had sold its wafer factories in South Portland, Maine, and Oudenarde, Belgium.

According to the official announcement of ATREG, the Pocatero factory covers an area of 33 acres, with a purification room space of over 50000 square feet, and a building space of over 550000 square feet. Currently, it produces 0.35 µ m to 1.5 µ M analog CMOS, BCD processes, advanced discrete devices, and customized production processes.

"This is not only the factories in South Portland, Maine, and Odenard, Belgium, but also the third manufacturing asset disposal that ATREG has assisted in the past 12 months," said Wei Chung Wang, executive vice president of global manufacturing operations at Ansemy. "This is the continuation of Ansemy's fab-liter strategy, and we hope to achieve sustainable financial performance by expanding the production capacity of key automotive and industrial market commodities."
