It has been fantastic ride, but the fun has only just begun IMO, although the easy money on most stocks in this sector has already been made. I am not one for predictions but I see AMAT splitting at least twice during this cycle, with the first probably coming Feb 13th. 3 is a possibility if the recent Dataquest research comes to fruition.

Winbond begins ramping 0.175-micron processing of 256-Mbit DRAMs

HSINCHU, Taiwan -- Winbond Electronics Corp. here got a jump on the other Taiwanese DRAM makers by announcing today that it has begun to ramp production of 0.175-micron processing for 256-megabit DRAMs.

Toshiba Corp., which uses Winbond as a foundry to supply up to 40% of its DRAMs, had transferred the 0.175-micron technology to the Taiwanese firm. Winbond officials said they will migrate all DRAM products, including 64- and 128-Mbit devices, to the 0.175-micron process by early this year.

Winbond also said it will increase wafer output from 22,000 a month to 30,000 wafers monthly by the end of the year.

Mosel-Vitelic Inc. and Nanya Technology Inc. also are preparing 256-Mbit DRAM production in a bid to keep pace with the Japanese and Korean DRAM leaders (see Dec. 29, 1999, story). Their processes, also at 0.175 micron, will be in production within a few weeks or months.

"Winbond has a legacy in high-volume manufacturing and state-of-the-artIC technology," said Jock Ochiltree, president and chief operating officer of Winbond Electronics Corporation America in San Jose. "This milestone reflects Winbond's ongoing commitment to anticipating customers' needs on a worldwide basis. As we move into the new millennium, we remain committed to bringing advanced technology solutions to market in a timely and cost-effective manner."
