Taiwan media reported that in order to balance the supply and demand of the NOR flash memory market, the major NOR chip manufacturers in the industry have already focused on product process upgrade rather than price competition.

Spansion, which had just stepped out of bankruptcy in May, has plans to upgrade its chip manufacturing process to 65nm, and expects the process product will account for 25% of its total revenue this year.

Spansion has always wanted to take back the share it lost during its previous bankruptcy. They have recently expanded their GL-S family of NOR flash memory chips for embedded applications such as consumer electronics, games and automobiles. New products are also used. 65nm process.

Taiwan Wang Hong also plans to upgrade its NOR production process from 0.11 micron to 75 nm this year, and then directly to 57 nm. The 0.11 micron product has occupied 57% of NOR Flash memory revenue in the fourth quarter of last year.

Winbond has also announced plans to upgrade its NOR production from 90nm to 58nm in the third quarter of this year. In addition, Wanghong and Winbond also increased their efforts to improve their performance in the automotive NOR market.
