Hitachi to shift domestic DRAM production to Singapore TOKYO (AFX-ASIA) - Hitachi Ltd said it is to shift domestic production of dynamic random access memory microchips to its joint venture plant in Singapore. It said it will shift output from its Hitachinaka plant in Ibaraki, north of Tokyo, to Hitachi Nippon Steel Semiconductor Singapore Pte, established jointly with the Singapore government and Nippon Steel Corp. An earlier Nihon Kogyo newspaper report that Hitachi will shift all DRAM production at the Hitachinaka plant to Singapore by end-March 2000, was rejected by the company. "It is true our main DRAM production will be shifted to the Singapore plant but we will do so gradually year by year," a company spokesman said. Hitachi said it will shift domestic production of 64 and 256 megabit DRAM to the Singapore plant, focusing on production of system large-scale integrated microchips at its local plants. Hitachi said DRAM production at its German plant is also to be shifted to Singapore, with the German plant to focus on production of micro control units.
