Sector Review Memory sectors appear to be under investing in litho to forecasted demand levels. DRAM pricing is stable and may turn in manufacturers favor. Both DRAM & NAND are expected to show shortages during 2H/11. If simulated memory demand levels cannot be delivered in 2011 an additional 400 M€ memory investments can be expected in 2012. Logic is beginning a possible return to past historic capital intensity levels. Real demand and competition drives spend. Strong leading-edge logic/foundry investments during 2010 & 2011 may not create excess capacity, depending on overall efficiency/demand in this sector but also on recent 200 mm capacity retirements, which are under detailed investigation. MPU continues on 2 year manufacturing node transition schedule. |
