Nanya Technology has landed a pull-in of orders for low-power DDR2 DRAM chips which will buoy the company's performance in the second half of 2015, according to a recent Chinese-language Commercial Times report.

Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix and Micron Technology have gradually phased out their production of LPDDR2 DRAM while putting more focus on the manufacture of new-generation LPDDR4 and supplies to the world's first-tier smartphone vendors. Nanya has therefore turned out to be the largest provider of LPDDR2 supplying the chips mainly to China-based smartphone manufacturers, the report said, without citing its sources.

The price of a 4Gb LPDDR2 DRAM chip is currently between US$2.70 and US$2.90. Nanya with "die-shrink" 30nm process technology is able to lower its manufacturing cost for the chip to less than US$2, the report disclosed. Demand for LPDDR2 will rise starting June which may boost chip prices to more than US$3, the report said.

A strong second half will enable Nanya to report another year of strong profits, the report said.

Nanya has issued a company filing with the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TSE) saying the company has not provided its financial forecast for 2015.

Nanya has reported net profits of NT$28.24 billion for 2014, with EPS coming to NT$11.77.
