| Hi all.
I'm leviathan, the guy from the lightening talk and the talk here: https://youtu.be/kiTcaRqzOmY In fact you really can get factory buildings basically for free from Hong Kong government because they don't know what to do with the building, but there is also a fab which actually is still in use (not heavily though)
We're in talks with some of the folks who know the owner of the fab and are having a meeting with him very soon. They actually have automation of the production line to a certain degree, so we can most likely stem it if we can get two more members into the team. For now we are just planning the layout and mask set and making sure everything is correct, so that we can provide reliable measurement data in order for you guys to start designing. Since the HK dollar stays for ages already on 8HKD ~ 1USD but the Reminbi is getting more expensive, we will at some point be cheaper producing here in Hong Kong. You can however just sign NDAs and shove the money up into the ... wallets ... of big companies like SMIC. If however you wanna be sure that there are no CIA backdoors sneaked into your mask set I'd suggest our service. I also accept BitCoins BTW as payment for the chips ;-) |
