By
US-based memory module house Kingston Technology has made an advance payment of US$100 million to Hynix Semiconductor for the purchase of DRAM chips and NAND flash in 2010, according to industry sources. The sources said memory module makers are moving to rely less on Samsung Electronics, which tends to give priority to PC and system OEMs
In addition, Taiwan-based A-Data Technology is looking to diversify its chip suppliers for 2010, and secure sufficient supply by making prepayments, indicated the sources. A-Data previously sourced memory chips mainly from Korea-based vendors.
