Silicon wafer maker GlobalWafers has resumed some shipments from its fire-hit Novara plant in Italy, but capacity will take time to recover.
The company said on Sept. 14 that parts of its 8-inch wafer line and epitaxy operations had restarted following the July 20 fire.
Some downstream processes are still being rebuilt. Other plants helping fill orders are already running at full capacity, and new equipment has long lead times.
