Allegro MicroSystems Inc., a manufacturer of advanced mixed-signal power semiconductors and Hall-effect sensors, has closed down and sold its 250,000 square-foot wafer fab in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania. According to the report, the buyer will use the facility for purposes unrelated to the semiconductor industry.
