Hitachi to Start Full-Scale Production of 256Mb DRAMs August 20, 1999 (TOKYO) -- Hitachi Ltd. will start full-scale production of 256Mb DRAMs to become a leading maker of DRAMs with large storage capacities. The company will increase the production capacity of its Naka plant in Ibaraki prefecture, which is now producing a small quantity of DRAMs, along with the mass production of these products at Singapore-based Hitachi Nippon Steel Semiconductor Singapore Ltd. slated to start from the spring of 2000. Hitachi's output of 256Mb DRAMs will reach 1.4 million units a month in March 2000. And it will raise production further by the end of 2000. Hitachi will use 40 billion yen worth of capital appropriated in its fiscal 1999 budget for the investment in Hitachi Nippon Steel Semiconductor Singapore. The company will use a 0.2-micron design rule and a 0.18-micron design rule for its 256Mb DRAMs. As for large AND-flash memories, Hitachi also plans to mass produce 500,000 units of 64Mb microchips and the same number of 256Mb microchips a month.
