Nanya Technology expects to draw strategic partners through fund raising, and is confident that its profits for 2015 will remain impressive, according to company chairman Wu Chia-chau.
Nanya expects to receive investment from strategic partners, and investors, in the second half of 2015, said Wu. The new funds will be used mainly to help the DRAM maker transition to 20nm process technology.
Nanya plans to start volume production of 20nm chips in the second half of 2017, Wu noted. Along with the technology transition, Nanya's LPDDR4 and DDR4 products will account for a larger proportion of company revenues, Wu said.
Nanya has budgeted a capex of NT$8.057 billion (US$261.9 million) for 2015, of which NT$1.88 billion will be used for 20nm manufacturing facilities.
In addition, Wu noted that Nanya has no intentions of forming partnerships with China-based companies, responding to market rumors saying Nanya is among the DRAM makers China-based firms are looking to cooperate with. |
