Micron and Intel Announce Update to 3D XPoint Joint Development Program

The companies have agreed to complete joint development for the second generation of 3D XPoint technology, which is expected to occur in the first half of 2019. Technology development beyond the second generation of 3D XPoint technology will be pursued independently by the two companies in order to optimize the technology for their respective product and business needs.

The two companies will continue to manufacture memory based on 3D XPoint technology at the Intel-Micron Flash Technologies (IMFT) facility in Lehi, Utah.

“Micron has a strong track record of innovation with 40 years of world-leading expertise in memory technology development, and we will continue driving the next generations of 3D XPoint technology,” said Scott DeBoer, executive vice president of Technology Development at Micron. “We are excited about the products that we are developing based on this advanced technology, which will allow our customers to take advantage of unique memory and storage capabilities. By developing 3D XPoint technology independently, Micron can better optimize the technology for our product roadmap while maximizing the benefits for our customers and shareholders.”

“Intel has developed a leadership position delivering a broad portfolio of Optane products across client and data center markets with strong support from our customers,” said Rob Crooke, senior vice president and general manager of Non-Volatile Memory Solutions Group at Intel Corporation. “Intel Optane’s direct connection to the world’s most advanced computing platforms is achieving breakthrough results in IT and consumer applications. We intend to build on this momentum and extend our leadership with Optane, which combined with our high-density 3D NAND technology offers the best solutions for today’s computing and storage needs.”

Micron to buy-out Intel's IM Flash

　　Micron Technology has announced that it is exercising its right to purchase Intel’s interest in their joint venture, IM Flash Technologies (IM Flash).　　This comes after the announcement that was made back in July 2018 that the two companies had agreed to conclude their joint development of 3D XPoint technology after the completion of the second-generation node.　　"The IM Flash acquisition will enable Micron to accelerate our R&D and optimise our manufacturing plan for 3D XPoint,” said Micron Technology President and CEO Sanjay Mehrotra. “The Utah-based facility provides us with the manufacturing flexibility and highly skilled talent to drive 3D XPoint development and innovation, and to deliver on our emerging technology roadmap.”　　Micron anticipates that the pending acquisition will have no meaningful impact on its financial results and said that it saw no changes to the company’s fiscal 2019 capital expenditures or long-term capital expenditure target.　　Micron said that it expects to pay approximately $1.5billion in cash for the transaction.

Micron Sees Weak Market Ahead

Over the past few weeks, signs have increasingly signaled that the two-year boom in memory chip sales is grinding to a halt. Now, U.S. memory chipmaker Micron Technology has provided more indications that a bust cycle is at hand.Micron reported on Tuesday quarterly sales and earnings at the low end of Wall Street estimates but said that it expects revenue to decline significantly in the current quarter due to “weak near-term supply-demand dynamics.”However, Micron executives characterized these dynamics as a short-term bump in the road en route to continued expansion in the second half of next year. Some memory market watchers believe that a memory downturn is likely to last significantly longer.Sanjay Mehrotra, Micron’s president and CEO, told analysts on a conference call following the quarterly report that the downbeat forecast is primarily related to a glut of inventory in the supply chain.“We’re just going through an air pocket here related to primarily inventory adjustments as well as some seasonal, weak mobile demand — including mobile demand” he said.While Micron is implementing some cost control measures such as cutting back on capital spending, said Mehotra, he expects 2019 to be a profitable year for the company. “Micron is better-positioned than ever before to win in this environment with our strong balance sheet and the structural improvements we have made to our operating model in the past several years.”“He’s certainly still giving a very bullish outlook,” said Jim Handy, principal at Objective Analysis, of Mehotra’s view. “He’s looking to trim capital spending now to take care of things late in 2019. My understanding of how the market works is that anything you do now to capital spending isn’t going to have an impact for two years.”Handy used the familiar metaphor of trying to turn around an aircraft carrier to compare to a memory chip company steering through a downturn. “What Micron is doing is turning the steering wheel now with the hopes that the ship will turn by the end of 2019, but it’s really not going to have an impact until later,” he said.Micron’s sales for the quarter ended Nov. 30 totaled $7.91 billion, up 16% year over year but down 5% from the previous quarter. The company’s quarterly net income totaled $3.29 billion, up 23% from the year-ago quarter but down 24% compared to the previous quarter.For the current quarter, Micron expects sales to fall to between $5.7 billion to $6.3 billion, well below the $7.34 billion average of analysts’ estimates, according to Yahoo Finance.

Micron Opens Backend Factory in Taichung Aiming 3D memory Market

Major memory manufacturer Micron on October 26 held an opening ceremony for their backend packaging and testing plant in Taichung. With the opening of this factory, Micron Taiwan will be the world’s only memory vertical integration production base with both manufacturing and testing, and the main target product will be 3D memory, which is currently in high demand.Micron Executive Vice President of Global Operations Manish Bhatia stated that following the opening of the backend packaging and testing plant in Taichung, Micron will be capable of responding to customer’s needs more rapidly, and the production cycle will be shortened. At the same time, they will also focus on more valuable and advanced products.Currently, the hottest product in the memory market is 3D NAND flash memory, and mass shipments of Micron’s 64-layer products are underway .The latest 96-layer NAND flash memory products will also go into mass production in the second half of this year. As a result, Micron is upgrading their production capacity for related products, and this will be the key for Micron to increase their profitability.Taiwan Micron Vice President Liang Ming-cheng pointed out that 3D memory that utilizes TSV technology has specialized processing specifications, and there is no general-purpose equipment. All of the packaging and testing equipment has been independently developed by Micron; therefore, it cannot be outsourced. In the future after the new packaging and testing center begins to be utilized, it will be of assistance in expanding production capacity for 3D memory.Following the movement from semiconductor manufacturing to 3D architecture, integrated manufacturing and testing of high-end ICs has become the main trend by and large. For instance, TSMC is continually expanding and increasing their technological capabilities in the domain of packaging and testing and Micron has established their own vertical production line which integrates manufacturing with packaging and testing, which is further evidence of this trend.Hence it will be worth paying attention to whether or not this technology will bring about changes in the current semiconductor industry chain.
