關鍵字：美光 爾必達 DRAM
SK海力士周五早些時候表示，已放棄對爾必達的競購。另外根據消息人士的說法，TPG Capital和中國的弘毅投資還試圖在最后一輪競標中聯合競購爾必達。
美光表示將把爾必達納為完全子公司，并且把重點放在MobileDRAM的研發與生產上。美光在整頓爾必達的過程，傾向保留原狀，包括爾必達廣島廠、后段封測廠秋田爾必達、臺灣子公司瑞晶的生產、員工聘雇等，將維持原狀。
業內人士，美光過關斬將一舉拿下爾必達，代表美、日、臺合流的DRAM新勢力已經隱然成形，美光陣營可望躍居全球第2大DRAM廠，拿下全球超過30％市占率，擠下原先排名全球第2的海力士（SKHynix）。此外，大陸在半導體產業積極擴張的勢力，也因為美、臺、日三方結合而暫時受挫。
日本媒體報導，爾必達在周末召開經營會議，比較美光、美陸基金提出的方案之后，正式選定美光為重整的援助企業，擔任爾必達重整財產管理人的土反本幸雄預計向東京地方法院報告決議結果，東京地院認可之后，爾必達將與美光就重整一事進行協商，預計8月21日向東京地院提出重整方案。
至于市場供需狀況，業界指出，由于爾必達申請破產保護之后，客戶因擔憂爾必達的營運狀況，導致爾必達市占率急挫，對DRAM產業的供需已經發揮穩定效果。然而倘若如外電所言，在美光旗下的爾必達企業，均保留原狀，產能并沒有因此而被移除，對DRAM供需的影響有限，未來美光如何集成手上的產能，將是后續牽動DRAM產業的關鍵。
Report: Micron wins exclusive right to buy Elpida
Dylan McGrath
SAN FRANCISCO—U.S. memory chip vendor Micron Technology Inc. has won the exclusive right to negotiate to buy failed Japanese DRAM vendor Elpida Memory Inc. after offering more than $2.5 billion, according to a report by the Reuters news service.
Part of the $2.5 billion bid will go toward paying down Elpida's debt load, which stands at about $5.5 billion, according to the Reuters report. The report quoted an anonymous source. That source also speculated that Micron's bid may be too low for Elpida to accept.
Micron appeared to be the most logical winner last week, when Hynix reportedly dropped out of the bidding. Elpida, which filed for bankruptcy earlier this year after a government bailout failed to materialize, began soliciting bids in March to satisfy its obligations to creditors.
Citing market research provided by IHS iSuppli, the Reuters report noted that the acquisition of Elpida would boost Micron's DRAM market share to 25 percent, surpassing SK Hynix Inc. for the No. 2 position among global DRAM vendors.
A separate Reuters report Monday (May 7), which cited Japan's Jiji news agency as its source, said Micron would invest more than $3.8 billion in Elpida's fabs in Japan and Taiwan over the next five years.
