The statement regarding the increased floor area ratio to allow triple-deck construction means that the province has eased regulations that previously prohibited the building of multilayer factories of such large scale. Since semiconductor plants often allocate clean rooms and production facilities by floor, a higher floor area ratio enables the company to secure more production capacity on the same site.
