The two DRAM (dynamic random access memory) subsidiaries of the Formosa Plastic Group (FPG) reported mixed revenue results in June, with Inotera Memories Inc. posting a 14.7% revenue increase from a month earlier and Nanya Technology Corp. suffering an 11.6% contraction.
Inotera`s revenue for May was NT$3.6 billion (US$127.44 million at US$1: NT$29), a 12-month high. Nanya`s May revenue of NT$3.9 billion (US$135.17 million) represented the first monthly drop in four months.
Behind Nanya`s recession were anemic DRAM spot prices and moderate surge of contract prices. The company depends on contract-price DRAMs for around 70% of its revenue and spot-price chips for the remaining 30%.
Memory-module suppliers noted that demand for contract-price chips had been stronger than that for spot-price chips as buyers of the latter had been managing to deplete the inventories built up shortly after the March 11 Sendai earthquake and ensuing tsunami. They felt that spot-price market would turn for the better in the third quarter.
For Inotera, the growth driver lies primarily in its shifting to advanced process technologies and increased yield rate with the processes.
