Taiwan's first-tier packaging and testing houses including Powertech Technology Inc., UltraTera Corp. and ChipMos Technologies Ltd. have accelerated expansions of their capacities for double data rate (DDR) II that will push Taiwan to become world's largest DDR II packaging service in 2005 with initial estimate of 30 million DDR II per month.
Both Siliconware Precision Industries Co., Ltd. and Orient Semiconductor Electronics, Ltd. have decided to join the bandwagon that will exert effort to offer DDRII packaging service with their system-in-package (SIP) methodology. Siliconware¡¯s chairman, W.P. Lin pointed out that his company has developed some cost-efficient packaging methodology for DDRII-chip suppliers as the prices for copper and gold prices have surged sharply in recent months.
Nanya Technology Corp. is poised to become Taiwan's No. 1 supplier of DDRII memory chips anytime soon after its subsidiary Inotera Memories Inc. kicks off volume production at its 12-inch wafer fab this month. Nanya's 512M DDRII400 module recently acquired approval from Intel and pilot production at Inotera. Inotera, a joint venture between Nanya and Infineon Technologies of Germany, puts out 10,000 12-inch wafers of 256M DDR and 512M DDRII chips based on 0.11-micron process a month.
