Experts have repeatedly noted that after Elpida purchase , Micron will become the second manufacturer of RAM , and take up to a quarter of the relevant market. Analysts at IHS iSuppli have returned to this theme, deciding to discuss how Micron is trying to protect themselves against the risks associated with Elpida absorption .
Elpida will get a payment in the amount of $ 750 million, while the remaining $ 1.75 billion will be paid in from 2014 to 2019. For Micron this is extremely profitable. In addition, already gaining control over Elpida cash flows , the parent company may use the proceeds of unit to pay its former shareholders.
If Micron Buy Elpida it will increase the number of wafers produced on a monthly base ( DRAM chips ) from 160 to 370 000 units - more than twice. Micron will receive a 24.8% market share, slightly ahead of SK Hynix with 24.2% and second only to Samsung with 40.8% of the market.
Micron will also have control over Taiwan Rexchip Electronics - memory manufacturer, has modern equipment and technology. Related Products :
