What is your take on the comments by the president of Siemen Semi that
the Korean chip makers will not be able to finance the transition to
.25 micron processes without IMF monies ?

TOKYO - With Japan's semiconductor industry closing one eye for the "Golden Week" holiday, Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. (Seoul, South Korea) announced that it had sent samples of its second-generation 256-Mbit DRAM to several of the largest U.S. computer makers. The samples were made at 0.18-micron design rules.

Because the die is small enough to fit into a 400-mil package - the standard for 64-Mbit DRAMs - Samsung's move was seen in Japan as a major advance.

Separately, Japan's largest business daily, Nihon Keizai Shimbun, reported that Hyundai Electronics Industries Co. Ltd. (Seoul) would resume construction of its fabrication facility in Scotland, which had been put on hold after South Korea's economic crash late last year. The company will make 256-Mbit DRAMs on 12-inch wafers at the facility, according to the report. Hyundai officials were not available for comment.
