Eon Silicon Solution saw August 2010 revenues increase 18% sequentially to NT$516 million (US$16 million), buoyed by a ramp-up in orders for handset-use multi-chip package (MCP) memory solutions, according to the company.
Eon accumulated NT$3.55 billion in revenues from January to August, up 81% from the same period of 2009.
With the China government winding down its investigation into counterfeits and gray-market handsets, August shipments of Eon's MCP products climbed substantially as compared with previous months, the company indicated. However, demand from the desktop, notebook and DVD player sectors turned relatively weak.
Eon mainly supplies NOR flash and NOR-based MCP chips, with the latter focusing on China's white-box handset market.
Korea-based Dongbu HiTek is currently Eon's major foundry partner, grabbing 80% of the NOR flash designer's total orders. China's Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC) has also landed a few orders from Eon.
