Taipei, Feb. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Taiwan's four major dynamic random access memory chipmakers will be unable to meet growing global demand for chips after June, the Commercial Times reported, quoting Nanya Technology Corp. President Chuang Yan-san. The companies -- Winbond Electronics Corp., ProMos Technologies Inc., Powerchip Semiconductor Corp. and Nanya -- will profit from an average price estimated at $7 for 64-megabit chips this year. Still, their survival in the global DRAM market depends on finding ways to meet demand and develop chip production below the 0.18 micron level, the paper reported.
Taiwan's DRAM makers are heavily dependent on imported production technologies because they lack the funds to develop the technology themselves. (Commercial Times, 2/9, p.2) For web site, type: CHNA
