Infineon strikes DRAM fab, capacity deals with Taiwan suppliers

TAIPEI, Taiwan — Hoping to find strength — and perhaps profit — in numbers, two DRAM makers joined forces Thursday (May 2) in an effort to compete in a market stricken with consolidation fever. Germany's Infineon Technologies AG and Taiwan's Nanya Technology Corp. said they will build a 300-mm wafer facility that will come on line at the end of next year.

Infineon separately said it will swap some of its technology for a share of Winbond Electronics Corp.'s DRAM capacity.




Infineon's link-ups came on the same day that Micron Technology Inc. said it has ended negotiations with Hynix Semiconductor Inc. on an acquisition deal that would have been one of the DRAM industry's largest consolidations since Micron purchased Texas Instruments Inc.'s DRAM operations in 1998.

Infineon's deal with Nanya is the highlight of the German-based company's efforts to shore up its DRAM manufacturing resources, which were set back when Micron scooped up Toshiba Corp.'s remaining memory operations last year. Infineon had been angling to strike the same deal.
