Flash memory products are on the fast track of development. The demand for smart phones, self-driving cars, and data centers is huge, which greatly promotes development.
However, Digitimes reported on March 14th. On March 9, Samsung’s flash memory plant in Pyeongtaek (Pyeongtaek City) suffered a power outage, and TechNews expects the loss to be equivalent to 3.5% of global supply in March.
Although the power outage lasted only for half an hour, it still damaged 5000~6000 wafers, which is 11% of Samsung's March production.
Samsung said that the effective startup of the standby power supply (designed for 20 minutes) responded to unexpected conditions, so it would not have a significant impact on flash memory operations.
According to DRAMeXchange statistics, in Q18 of 2018, flash memory has shown a weak oversupply. This is because last year when the gap was obvious, the main flash memory plants increased their capacity and yield. As a result, no match was observed in 2018. The high growth.
