It now has a intro paragraph (about what a foundry is).

The article has been moved from Foundry (electronics) to foundry model.

I removed the cleanup tag and put the taskforce tag on the main article page. I'm currently working on rewriting. RJFJR 17:23, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have shuffled things around and change a few words so far. More progress shall be made over next few days. Computerjoe 18:37, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've slightly changed the first 3 paragraphs of 'History' Computerjoe 19:37, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A few further changes in the first 5/6 history paragraphs. Computerjoe 14:13, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]


I took the first section an older version of this article and put it at Foundry (electronics) and made the redirect to foundry model a part of see also, and marked it tech-stub.

I added an overview section above history, I think it makes sense. I deleted the clean room section (it's now at foundry (electronics) anyways).

I've been fleshing out some of the parts we've been tightening. Hopefully the tension between tightening and expanding will result in good paragraphs. RJFJR 21:31, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've changed it a little so foundry (electronics) is linked. Computerjoe 08:18, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've changed the tone of the paragraph. This is a hefty job and I might assign someone else. Computerjoe 20:37, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've changed the first paragraph of history, again! Computerjoe 21:10, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed some grammar and spelling, then I dropped it in Word and the runtime spell checker found more. I also finally did a rewrite on the sentece about EDA so it would agree in number. RJFJR 23:15, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There are a number of technical terms related to chip manufacture (including photomask, wafer, etc). We could wikilink if that would make it more accessible but it might be better to rewrite to void these complexities. RJFJR 23:15, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the large number of technical terms makes it difficult to read through the article. I've wikilinked a few of them, but it might be more desirable to explain them somewhat in the body of the article itself. Canderson7 (talk) 03:51, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]


low-quantity shuttle-services in addition to full production-lines We need to define shuttle-services if we are going to leave it in. RJFJR 17:11, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've added an external link. Computerjoe's talk 13:58, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
