 Eplida Memory has stated that it has now started ramping Area 2 of its
E300, 300mm DRAM fab, which has an estimated 80,000 wafer starts per
month capability and one of the largest 300mm fabs currently in
production.
However, due to a 25 percent spot market price drop in for 512Mb
DDR2 during the 4Q05, average-selling prices for DRAMs suffered a 7%
decline, which was greater than the 5 percent decline the company had
projected, hitting profits. Full details of Elpida's 3Q05 financials are expected next week.
