Li Jing semiconductor acquisition of Acer 12 inch wafer factory to expand production capacity

According to Taiwan media reports, due to the promising NAND flash OEM requirements and to enhance their capacity of DDR2, memory chip maker Powerchip semiconductor (Powerchip Semiconductor Corporation) intends to acquire wannhong wafer (Macronix International Company) 12 inch fab. However, the two companies have been denied the report, Li Jing semiconductor and Wang Hong wafer.

Recent rumors have claimed that the PSC will pay NT $1 billion to buy wonhone 12 inch FAB (Fab 3), and according to the sources quoted a media reported that the acquisition will be able to finish in the lunar new year. Sources pointed out that the reason is that this is the intention of this quarter, Renesas AG-AND batch production of 4G flash memory, but its production capacity is only able to complete the task of 80%. Media also reported that, due to the growth in demand for DDR2, force is still seeking to meet the growth capacity to meet the growing demand for AG-AND.

Although the two companies denied the rumors, industry observers have given a positive assessment of the possible merger. Market sources pointed out that Wang Jie 12 inch wafer factory has been set up a clean room, so the acquisition of crystal will save a lot of cost. For Wang Hong, this may also give it a gain in mergers and acquisitions, because it will have to get the necessary funds from the crystal, and its maintenance costs will also decline wafer.
