Fujitsu Trims DRAM Production Fujitsu <TOKYO:6702> aims to reduce its reliance on the unstable DRAM market by halving the amount of general-use DRAMs produced in-house. The company will instead outsource the work to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, probably before FY00. This plan will complement the agreement recently forged with Toshiba <TOKYO:6502> to jointly develop a 1G DRAM, which will not only lessen the company's dependence on DRAM operations but also trim associated expenses because the two companies will share the cost of massive investment required for mass-production facilities. FY99 investment in chip-related facilities will probably be around 80 billion yen, on a par with FY98, which was half of that allocated in FY97.
