Inotera Memories saw revenues grow over 10% sequentially in September 2010, buoyed by the ramp-up of 50nm technology, according to the DRAM maker.

Despite continued drops in DRAM prices, Inotera's revenues rose 12.2% on month to NT$3.6 billion (US$116 million) in September. On an annual basis, revenues increased 3.4% from the NT$3.48 billion posted in September 2009.

Inotera expects its monthly output using 50nm process technology to top 100,000 wafer starts in October. The level fell to as low as 50,000-60,000 units in July and August, affected by the company's technology transition.

Inotera is looking to convert all of its chip production (130,000 wafers a month) to 50nm by the end of 2010.

Fellow DRAM company Nanya Technology has reported revenues of NT$4.56 billion for September, down 13% on month. Revenues for the first nine months of 2010 totaled NT$44.75 billion, rising 74% from a year earlier.
