(Linkleri Üyelerimiz Görebilir. UslanmaM Üyeliği İçin Tıklayın) - ProMOS Technologies raised its:-)Linkleri Üyelerimiz Görebilir. UslanmaM Üyeliği İçin Tıklayın:-)this year to between $1.5 billion and $1.6 billion in a bid to keep up with rivals in Taiwan.
Robust competition among memory chip makers such as ProMOS and its rivals in Taiwan Inotera Memories Powerchip Semiconductor and Nanya Technology is causing them to build new memory chip factories at a breakneck pace. The new figure from ProMOS is 28 percent higher than its former spending plan for 2007 $1.25 billion.
Such competition is good news for users because it should help keep DRAM (dynamic RAM) prices down. Most DRAM makers believe prices for the chips will rise in the second half of this year as demand for new PCs armed with the Windows Vista OS take off. But a number of new DRAM factories are scheduled to come on line or raise production as the year rolls on which could limit price increases.
ProMOS company will also move equipment into its first ever China chip plant by the end of this year according to Ben Tseng a vice president at ProMOS. The $365 million factory is being built in Chongqing a city located in southwestern China. The company plans to start production at the site early next year.
ProMOS is one of the last major DRAM makers to announce its spending plans for this year.

Its spending this year is forecast at NT$48 billion up from NT$40 billion last year.
In addition Powerchip last year announced a:-)Linkleri Üyelerimiz Görebilir. UslanmaM Üyeliği İçin Tıklayın:-)of Japan. The two companies will jointly invest US$13.9 billion over five years to build four new DRAM factories in Taiwan. The joint venture company named Rexchip Electronics is slated to open this year in an advanced 12-inch chip factory Powerchip started building in central Taiwan earlier in 2006.
