They still have an excellent SiGe (silicon/germanium) IC process that is
wonderful for very high speed analog/digital ICs and made in Burlington,
VT. Unfortunately the wafer cost is higher than pure CMOS from TSMC
Taiwan and few are willing to pay a little more for the performance. I
loved designing on that process.

They have sold off the server business to Lenovo and I would not be
surprised if Burlington goes with a deal like that.

When I was there I thought that facility was strictly IC fab and process
engineering.
