Powertech Technology (PTI) and Walton Advanced Engineering have seen their production capacities for mobile DRAM running in high capacity.

PTI said that testing and packaging orders for mobile DRAM and NAND flash chips have been strong in the fourth quarter, offsetting a decline in demand for standard DRAM chips and logic ICs.

Walton reportthat its overall capacity utilization rate will be higher in the fourth quarter as compared to the previous quarter, buoyed by increasing orders for mobile DRAM.

Walton's capex for 2013 will be lower than the US$68.75 million spent in 2012, but a majority of new capital spending in the coming year will be used to ramp its mobile DRAM capacity.

Walton will reach a production capacity of 90 million mobile DRAM chips a month by year-end 2012.
