Korean chip makers will cut output in early October

Sep 16, 1998 - Samsung Electronics and Korea's two other semiconductor chip
makers will stop production of memory chips for four to seven days in early October in
order to stabilize chip prices, according to industry sources.

The sources said that the three companies, including LG Semicon and Hyundai
Electronics Industries, would halt manufacturing of chips before and after the three-day
Chusok holiday, which begins on a Sunday, Oct. 4.

With the decision, Samsung and Hyundai have been cutting production once a month
since June, and LG Semicon has reduced output since July.

The sources noted that such efforts would reduce their memory chip production by
about 30%. In this connection, the price of 64-megabit DRAM chips has recovered to
US$10 from its bottom of US$7 early this year, according to the sources.
