Underdog DRAM

摘要

The DRAM sector experienced a major decline during and following the 2008-2009 financial crisis and eventually contracted - both the number of suppliers and installed fab production capacity. According to the SEMI World Fab Forecast Report, the outlook is now more positive as DRAM bit demand is on the rise and average selling prices improved in both 2013 and 2014. Installed capacity is expected to emerge from negative to positive territory by the end of 2016, but factors for growth are complicated by complex technology issues.
