NAND price falls as Toshiba invests
Just as NAND prices fall, Toshiba, the No.2 producer, announces it will invest $5 billion investment in its semiconductor operation for the fiscal years 2010, 2011 and 2012, with the main part of that going to the fifth NAND fab on its Yokkaichi site.
Japan's Toshiba Corp more than doubled its quarterly operating profit on booming sales of NAND flash memory chips and robust demand for LCD panels used in smartphones and tablets.
