Austin's Sematech Lays Off 15% of Staff

Via The Austin Business Journal.

Sematech Inc. laid off 80 employees, or about 15 percent of its staff, because of rising costs related to research and development.

In line with the high cost of R&D and related equipment, Sematech also has been waiting to receive $40 million in state funding. The nonprofit group was offered that money in 2003 from the Texas Enterprise Fund to keep its research center in Austin.
