Micron: Disbanded Shanghai DRAM Design Team:
Micron Technology:
It has become clear that “DRAM development at the R & D center in Shanghai will be stopped.”
“Migration work due to the discontinuation of DRAM development in Shanghai” will be completed by December 2022.
Shanghai R & D Center:
Over 100 engineers are working.
Other than the DRAM design team, it is unaffected.
Business of Shanghai R & D Center:
Covers all product lines.
From the circuit design of semiconductor memory
From SSD development and testing
I have been in charge of a wide range.
SSD design:
Maintain function as a state-of-the-art SSD design center.
DRAM design:
Regarding DRAM, we will continue to innovate at R & D centers other than China.
Flash memory design:
Already, the NAND flash memory design team in China has been scaled down.
Moved the development and manufacturing center of Asia to Singapore.
Moved to a Chinese semiconductor manufacturer:
Many Micron engineers were pulled out by Chinese semiconductor manufacturers.
Micron was afraid that “the company’s technology would be taken out through the job changer.”
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD):
AMD, the American semiconductor giant, has also announced that it will shrink its R & D center in Shanghai.
