Developments
Much of Micron's attention this past year was involved with integrating Texas Instruments'
memory division into its own business. Late in 1998, Micron acquired TI's memory business,
including TI's wholly owned fabs in Avezzano, Italy, and Richardson, Texas; its
joint-venture interests in Japan and Singapore; and an assembly and test
operation in Singapore.
The company said it's also continuing its process-technology improvements,
advancing to an 0.18-micron process and doing R&D to move to 0.15 micron.
Micron also introduced a number of DDR SDRAM products in the last year, including
2.5-V, 100- and 133-MHz, 128-Mbit devices, and a 2.5-V, 133-MHz, 64-Mbit product. The
company said it also started sampling 356- and 400-MHz, 128- and 144-Mbit RDRAM components
and 64-, 96-, and 128-Mbyte Rambus in-line memory modules.
Plans
In the coming year, Micron said it will continue to look for ways to reduce costs
to stay competitive. The company will move its product line to concentrate on
128-Mbit DDR and Rambus DRAMs.>> |
