ProMOS Technologies indicated today that since it has already successfully migrated all foundry products, as well as its own proprietary legacy products, from the 8-inch wafer fab (FAB 1) to the 12-inch wafer fab (FAB 2), it will now commence to shut down the 8-inch wafer fab, as originally planned.

This move together with other production capacity adjustments will reduce the memory maker's DRAM output by 10-15% in the fourth quarter. However, sales commitment and volume allocation to contract customers and long-term partners will not be affected, the company stated.

ProMOS also reported September's net sales of NT$2660 million (US$83.8 million), a 15% decrease compared to last month. The company's accumulated net sales for the first three quarters of 2008 were NT$26.5 billion (US$856.5 million).
