SINGAPORE: An Abu Dhabi investment firm has offered to buy Singapore’s Chartered Semiconductor for $3.9 billion, which would create one of the world’s largest microchip makers, officials said Monday. The buyout by Advanced Technology Investment Company (ATIC) comes as chip companies around the world look to boost sales after being hit hard by falling demand brought about by the global slump.
