Samsung Sees Chip Shortages Lasting to 2002, Will Expand Chip Production bloomberg.com Seoul, Sept. 6 (Bloomberg) -- Samsung Electronics Co., the world's No. 4 chipmaker, said shortages in the $30-billion-a-year memory chip market are likely to last for another two years. To meet expected memory chip shortages, Samsung will begin production at its 10th plant south of Seoul and begin production from its 11th later this month. Line 11, using 300 mm silicon wafer equipment, is slated to begin production in the second half of 2001. Nearly all chipmakers today use 8-inch wafers. Samsung expects its move to larger wafer sizes to boost chip production per silicon wafer -- and productivity. The company will build a system chip factory with 8-inch silicon wafer lines for custom-designed computer chips. Samsung forecasts sales for the whole of its semiconductor business to reach $30 billion by 2005 and predicts that sales from its custom chip division will reach $5 billion in that period.
