Fujitsu Microelectronics Gresham Fab - DRAM Chip Paperweight (1988)

fijitsu chip paperweight
Item #780
Lucite paperweight featuring a Fujitsu DRAM memory chip manufactured at their newly opened Gresham, Oregon Fab.


The 826,500 sq. ft. Gresham plant (200,000 sq. ft. of clean-room) first opened in Oct. 1988 and was Fujitsu's first U.S. wafer fab. It would become one of Fujitsu's key sites for manufacturing of their memory products.

In April 2000 Fujitsu decided to exit the DRAM memory market and the Gresham plant converted all it's production lines over to the manufacture of flash memory. The 670 employee Gresham Plant was permanently shutdown in January 2002 and would later be purchased by Microchip Technology and become Fab 4.

Silicon chip die is marked "c. 1984    2004    600UH567".

Fujitsu TurboSPARC Workstation / Server Notebook CPU  (1996)

Fujitsu TurboSPARC processor
Item #899
This promotional keychain features a Fujitsu Microelectronics "TurboSPARC" CPU chip embedded in Lucite.

The 32-bit, 160 MHz, Fujitsu TurboSPARC CPU was originally offered as an upgrade chip for the Sun Microsystems SPARCstation 5 (SS5) line of 70, 85 and 110 MHz microSPARC-II based low-end workstation computers. The Fujitsu upgrade kit was capable of improving the SPARCstation 5 computer's performance by 200 to 300% over it's original Sun Microsystem's 110 MHz microSPARC-II CPU.

A 170 MHz version of the TurboSparc CPU would be used by numerous computer manufacturers in 1997, including use in Tadpole Technology's "SPARCbook" 3XT & 3000 models of high-end workstation / server class notebooks, and were also found in SPARC based computers from Opus Systems, Tatung Science and Technology, Themis Computers, Force Computers, Fujitsu Computers, RDI Computer and others.

The 3.0 million transistor TurboSPARC CPU featured 256KB  of external Level 2 cache, and was manufactured by Fujitsu Microelectronics using their 0.35 µm "CS-60ALE" CMOS process​.
