Fujitsu Restructures Chip Operations In Singapore TOKYO -(Dow Jones)- Fujitsu Ltd. said Friday it will restructure its back-end semiconductor plant in Jurong Town in Singapore, in part by ceasing integrated-circuit production at the plant and transferring the rest of its operations to a new subsidiary. Fujitsu Microelectronics Asia Pte. Ltd. will be transferred to a new subsidiary to be set up by Fujitsu Quantum Devices Ltd. Fujitsu Quantum is a wholly owned subsidiary of Fujitsu and manufactures and markets compound semiconductor products. FMAL, which was set up in 1986, has been used mainly for the testing and back-end assembly of dynamic random access memory, or DRAM, chips and the production of compound semiconductors. The new subsidiary, provisionally named Fujitsu Quantum Devices Singapore Ltd. will manufacture microwave devices for mobile communication systems, as well as optical devices. It will also develop fundamental technology for compound semiconductors. Fujitsu will sell FMAL's integrated circuit assets to United Test & Assembly Ltd., a Singapore-based consignment assembly company by January 1999. Fujitsu will subsequently enter into contract with UTAC for the outsourcing of DRAM test operations. The restructuring measures are part of Fujitsu's plans to restructure its world-wide semiconductor operations partly because of the slump in the IC memory market.

LG Semicon to Strengthen Its IC Business November 2, 1998 (SEOUL) -- LG Semicon Co. said it will strengthen its non-memory integrated circuit business, focusing on non-memory chips for computers, multimedia devices, industrial electronics and online communications. The company said it will also streamline operations by setting up its own retail network in addition to the existing development and production units. As part of its self-rehabilitation plans, LG Semicon said it will close down several non-profitable businesses, including production of chips for LANs and set-top boxes as well as its DRAM production lines, which will be converted into non-memory chip production facilities. "We will use 40 percent of the total research funds to develop IC chips," said an LG official. "We hope to raise sales profits to US$1 billion by 2001 and plan to focus on developing complex chips, digital TV chip sets and ICs for CDMA products with higher international competitiveness." LG Semicon plans to secure the technology needed to expand its IC sector by participating in a government project aiming to advance the infrastructure for non-memory technology and led by the Ministry of Information and Communications and the Ministry of Science and Technology. nikkeibp.asiabiztech.com
