That makes it the first plant proposed anywhere that would produce plastic transistors on a commercial scale. Plastic Logic's plant attracted $100 million from such backers as Oak Investment Partners, Intel, Bank of America and BASF. "We believe there is nothing silicon transistors can do that polymer transistors won't be able to do eventually," says Hermann Hauser, a former physicist and now a partner at Plastic Logic financier Amadeus Capital Partners...
Today industrial parks outside the city center house research labs from Nokia and Ericsson. U.S. bearings producer Timken is investing $15 million in a factory that will start production this year. Intel has poured $525 million into two chip-assembly and -packaging plants, one of which opened in 2005, while the second will start production this year.

GDP growth in Chengdu averaged 13.3% between 2001 and 2005, outpacing Shanghai...
