Taiwan based memory manufacturer TwinMOS has become a victim of the continuous drop in DRAM prices. By April 15th, the company will have closed down as the
Digitimes reports. In an effort to prevent this from happening, TwinMOS has tried to reorganize its structures to cut costs where possible, but they have also been looking for opportunities of aquisition. The employees of TwinMOS seem to be taken care of, as many are already, or will be, working for the flash memory maker Silicon-Power Computer. To establish a memory factory is not that expensive, however the ongoing costs are, which is the reason TwinMOS has to shut down. They will sadly not be the last company to break down with this trough of the DRAM industry, as industry analysts say.
