Intel 18A yield issues resolved, production ramp continues per report

A report from BlueFin Research Partners indicates that Intel has resolved yield variability issues with its 18A process technology. This fix is expected to lead to more consistent and predictable yield improvements for products manufactured using this advanced node. The report also suggests that Intel is ramping up production to 12-15,000 wafers per month at its Oregon and Arizona facilities, with a total capacity of around 30,000 wafer starts per month across both sites.
