Hi,

Yes, they had their own fab, the process was much faster and easier then 
(0.8microns?, 3 metals?), and they probably had their own bonding 
machines to get the dies quickly into packages (ceramic for protos?).

We poor Finnish design companies have to account for (multi-product 
wafer for prototyping) processing timetables (mask production, 
processing), fab schedules, package assembly and shipping times. :-)
