Winbond Electronics, a maker of NOR flash and niche DRAM memory, has announced a plan to add US$12.45 million of investment in its US-based subsidiary Winbond International.

Winbond International is wholly owned by Winbond, specializing in the R&D, marketing and sales of NOR flash and specialty DRAM products for the US and Europe.

Winbond posted revenues of NT$8.53 billion (US$268 million) in the second quarter of 2010, up 21% on quarter. Other financial results for the quarter will be unveiled at the company's upcoming investors conference on August 6.

Winbond recently revealed plans to grow its capacity for NOR flash memory to 10,000 wafer starts a month by the end of 2010, and migrate NOR production from 90nm to 58nm in 2011.

As for SDRAM, Winbond expects to move its in-house developed 46nm process to volume production in 2011, the company was quoted in previous reports.

Winbond has significantly lowered its proportion of standard DRAM sales since 2010 as it is looking to phase out of the business
