Hitachi may suspend semiconductor plants by 8-14 days between Feb-March TOKYO (AFX-ASIA) - Hitachi Ltd said it is studying plans to suspend operations of its eight domestic semiconductor plants by 4-7 days in February, marking the first suspension in six years. Hitachi said it may also suspend semiconductor production lines at the eight domestic plants by further 4-7 days in March, if the proposal is approved by its labour union. The move is aimed at adjusting output of 16M DRAM and SRAM chips in line with the prolonged price decline which lasted until the middle of the last week, a Hitachi official said. Hitachi said that with the planned cutbacks of the 16M DRAM chip production, its monthly output will fall to around 8.0 mln units a month by the end of March against initial plans to produce 9.0 mln 16M DRAM chips a month.
