Katherine,

Taiwanese industry, responsible for some of the most worrisome utilization reports, is primarily foundry-driven. Furthermore, some of the DRAM companies seem to be shifting excess capacity to foundries, easing the DRAM problem but making the foundry problem worse.

need some help. Please explain foundry-driven and what do you mean by shifting excess capacity to foundries? Not being in the business, I am totally lost on what you are trying to say here.
