Nanya Technology plans to discontinue its rights
to take delivery of PC DRAM chips from Inotera Memories, while allowing Micron
Technology to handle sales of all DRAM chips rolled out from Inotera, according
to industry sources.
Nanya's parent company Formosa Plastics
Corporation (FPC) is expected to reach a deal with Micron soon, allowing Nanya
to stop taking PC DRAM from Inotera from the first half of 2013, while
accelerating its migration to the niche memory market, the sources
noted.
However, FPC may also negotiate to increase its
stake in Inotera when the DRAM chipmaker launches a private placement scheduled
in 2013, the sources revealed.
Micron and FPC currently hold 40% and 26% stakes,
respectively, in Inotera.
FPC would like to ramp its share in Inotera to
35%, or the same level as Micron when the private placement is completed, the
sources added.
