Samsung Electronics, the earth's biggest memory nick maker, stated it's begun mass production in a new line to boost manufacture of expensive memory chips utilized in pills and mobile phones.
The South Korean firm also introduced it's began mass manufacture of advanced DRAM (dynamic random access memory) chips, designed to use 20-nanometer process technology.
It stated inside a statement on Thursday these offer significant enhancements in productivity and cut energy consumption.
The expensive memory nick marketplace is robust because of growing interest in mobile products for example tablet computer systems and mobile phones.
But demand is weak for DRAM chips utilized in pcs, pushing prices lower and giving makers a motivation to consider more complex technology.
"The worldwide semiconductor market is in a time of fierce cyclical unpredictability," stated chairman Lee Kun-Hee inside a ceremony in the new plant at Hwaseong south of Seoul.
"We should get ready for an intensifying storm within the semiconductor industry by further improving our technological abilities and expertise to be able to maintain our leadership position."
Samsung stated it's invested 12 trillion won ($10.4 billion) in building the brand new plant since work began in May this past year.
Samsung were built with a share of the market of 41.6 percent within the global DRAM market within the second quarter, based on research firm IHS iSuppli.
Its share around the globe marketplace for NAND expensive chips seemed to be 41.6 percent within the second quarter, in front of Toshiba's 28.7 percent.
The organization stated it might raise manufacture of NAND expensive chips to satisfy growing demand, and would begin manufacture of more complex expensive chips using 10-nanometer process technology the coming year.
"The most recent technology migration by Samsung means a wider technology gap using its rivals in Taiwan plus they might even exit the trade sometime early the coming year,Inch Kiwoom Investments analyst Lee Jae-Yun told Dow Johnson Newswires.
"Interest in NAND chips will stay healthy because of brisk sales of mobile phones and pills, while supply has considerably reduced because of production cuts by some chipmakers."
