BANGALORE, INDIA: In a bid to aim at pocketing revenues from the white-box handset market in Taiwan, the country's chip manufacturing major Opus Microsystems will begin trial production of scanning mirror chips for micro projectors.

It is expected that the trial production of the new scanning mirror chips would get kick started by the third quarter of the current year. The company has said that it expects revenues to come in by year 2010. The company currently manufactures its scanning mirror chips at the Taiwan's Industrial Technology Research Institute's (ITRI) four-inch wafer production facility, it added.

With the new plans getting concrete shape as of now, it is expected Opus Microsystems will start mass output at the 8-inch facilities of other MEMS foundries. This would also aim at snipping the size of the chips and also to help in cutting the size of micro projectors by around half.

Opus has further said that it would soon be completing the design of the photomask for the 8-inch wafer fabrication facility by August 2009. It is expected to begin small trial production in the third quarter as soon as the design of the photomask is complete.
