Abstract: December 30 news, according to foreign media reports, Micron recently issued a statement saying that due to the closed management measures taken by Xi'an to control the epidemic, the supply of some DRAM chips in Micron may be delayed.

December 30 news, according to foreign media reports, Micron recently issued a statement to the outside world that due to the closed management measures taken by Xi'an to control the epidemic, the supply of some DRAM chips in Micron may be delayed.

Micron currently has a testing and assembly facility in Xi'an. The company said it is currently able to meet the needs of most of its customers, but the new supply arrangements could be delayed.

In a statement, Micron said, "We are working with local government officials to find solutions to minimize the impact and maintain on-site operations in a safe facility", and is currently using global supply chain and subcontractor partners to provide these DRAM products to customers.

Affected by the emergence of a new round of new crown pneumonia in Xi'an, Xi'an has adopted closed management measures at 00:00 on December 23. Micron believes that this situation will be difficult to alleviate in the near future, and it has made the staffing of the production site more tight. However, the company added that "appropriate measures" have been taken to reduce the risk of virus transmission, including on-site screening, social distancing, reduced labor density and encouraging employees to be vaccinated.

According to the data, Micron's Xi'an factory was established in 2006 and mainly carries out integrated circuit assembly and testing and DRAM module manufacturing. The plant is instrumental in Micron's continued success in the DRAM markets such as networking, cloud, and data centers.

In addition to Micron, Samsung Electronics also announced on the 29th that due to the impact of the epidemic and the lockdown in Xi'an, it decided to temporarily adjust the production line operation in Xi'an Semiconductor Factory.

Samsung's Xi'an plant is the main producer of 3D NAND Flash and the company's only overseas storage chip manufacturing base, including the second plant launched last year, which accounts for 42.3% of Samsung's total NAND Flash production and 15.3% of global production capacity.
