The government has decided to merge Angstrem and Micron

Minpromtorg studies a question of association of two Russian microelectronic factories Angstrem and Micron (enters in Sitroniks, supervised AFK System) on manufacture of sdmi-conductor components in the size of 90 nanometers. With such statement has acted zamglavy the ministries. Jury Borisov. , informs Interfax.

According to Borisov, at the given stage the Micron project on manufacture of chips of 90 nanometers is actually started, and factory Angstrema realisation was tightened. In 2011 Russia can receive two factories with identical technological parametres which will compete in the same grocery niches, considers Borisov. Association - process uneasy as behind two projects there are private companies - AFK System and group of companies Angstrem, but both projects are financed in VYeBe, the detached onlooker, and the serious player who can promote this association are supported through realisation of federal target programs, therefore the state here noot, - representative Minpromtorga has declared.

In 2008, in interview to magazine CNews, Jury Borisov expressed an opposite position: Both for Angstrema, and for Micron of a sphere of action will suffice.

Presence of two, instead of one factories - is always better for many reasons. From the point of view of the state is a technological and information safety. From the point of view of a competition is a stimulus to development. Why the ministry position has cardinally changed today, it is necessary to guess only. Jury Borisov has not answered call CNews.

Other representative Minpromtorga has on the condition of anonymity informed that full association of actives of two enterprises is supposed. On Monday, on July, 27th, representatives of Angstrema and Micron will discuss, as he said, this question in Minpromtorge. In opinion. Dmitry Milovantseva.

, chairman of board of directors Angstrem, it is logical to begin association of two enterprises with association of grocery rulers. Workings out of new chips for microelectronic factories cost ten millions dollars and if both companies play one market creation of products is logical for conducting in common, - he considers. Further, at creation of manufacture of chips with the topological sizes 65 and 45 nanometers, as he said, make sense to unite and at level of manufactures. In System CNews press-service AFK have informed that know about idea of association of two enterprises, but official proposals in this respect did not receive. Representatives of Sitroniksa were inaccessible to comments.

The source in Micron has informed CNews that the question of association of two enterprises lay on a surface for a long time already. The Russian market of microelectronics small, therefore to two players on it is not present a place, - he speaks. - on the other hand, presence of two enterprises creates a competition, but at their association we will compete also to foreign players. Zelenograd Angstrem, entering into group Angstrem, has put 100 % of actions for reception of the credit from Foreign trade and investment bank for the sum of 815 million euro off the beginning of 2008 On this money equipment AMD for manufacture of chips in the size of 130 nanometers and factory building in Zelenograd which at present is not finished has been paid. Sitroniks also it was financed through parent company AFK System at VYeBa, and recently has entered into the agreement with Rosnano about attraction 6,5 mlrd rub for building on Micron of manuacture of integrated schemes on technology of 90 nanometers.

Russia and Europe Servers will emerge from a bottom, but slowly

Under forecasts IDC, sales of servers in region EMEA - Europe (including Russia), the Near East and Africa - in 2nd quarter 2009 will fall to 39,3 % in comparison with the similar period of 2008 and doctignut marks in $2,9 billion Market falls 4th quarter successively more and more high rates (in 1st quarter of this year recession reached 34,3 %). In IDC expect that the bottom of the server market in EMEA is necessary this ear for 2nd quarter - both by quantity, and on a gain from the sold cars. In total for this period in region it will be realised less 0,5 million servers, approximately on 30 % it is less, than last quarter. In 1st quarter 2009 each sector of economy has felt on itself influence of a world economic crisis: almost all countries of Western Europe were captured by recession, and economy of countries of Eastern Europe will be paralysed frequently by shortage of credits, - makes comments.

Nataniel Martinez. (Nathaniel Martinez), heading in IDC the program of researches of the European systems and infrastructural decisions.

- IDC has lowered the forecast that speaks influence of going deep recession on the server matket. A sales volume of servers in region EMEA and the growth forecast, 2008-2013 (in $mln). A source: IDC, June, 2009 By words. Beatriz Valle. (Beatriz Valle), analytics IDC on the server market of Europe, recession has various scale and the form depending on the country.

Among seriously suffered from recession - the server market of Great Britain, and continental Europe goes by same means. In second half of 2009 The market will continue to show falling in comparison with similar indicators of 2008, - continues Valle.

- It will be more strongly expressed in monetary indicators, than in quantitative, because of the tendency to decrease in average cost prices which has begun even before recession.

Nevertheless, the analyst predicts that rates of decrease in sales volumes of servers will in money terms be slowed down next four quarters. However growth of sales will return on server market EMEA not earlier than 3rd quarter 2010 In money terms a bottom will be reached in 1st quarter 2010 on a mark in $2,6 billion In IDC are assured that restoration of consumer demand this autumn will begin: its splashes though also moderated, become appreciable in 2nd half of 2009 The receipt of x86 servers, predictably, will start to show positive dynamics earlier, than in other segments. Its recession in 1st quarter 2009 will be measured less than 10 % - basically, for the account sementa blejd-servers and consolidation of infrastructures. Strengthening of consolidation, requirement for ordering of an infrastructure and budgetary restrictions will define character of demand for servers, - believes. Dzhorzhio Nebuloni. (Giorgio Nebuloni), analyst IDC on the market of the European systems and infrastructural decisions. - on the other hand, sales not x86 servers will return to growth in 2nd half of 2010 thanks to increase of demand for scale infrastructural projects. Sales of mass servers will grow slower rates: from $1,6 mlrd in 2nd quarter 2009 to $1,7 mlrd in 3rd quarter 2010 of Sale of high-efficiency servers and cars of an average price category will start to grow only in 1st quarter 2011 Let's remind that recently IDC the similar forecast on the world market of servers.

Prroceeding from it, it is possible to tell that region EMEA will divide universal tendencies of development of the market. As a whole, predictably, the volume of the server market all over the world will decrease in 2009 on 22,1 % in monetary and on 18,3 % - in quantitative expression in comparison with 2008 we Will remind that experts Gartner result similar forecasts: they expect that will be difficult for all server market 2009, and to return to growth till 2010 to it hardly it will be possible. In Gartner the worst for all history of the server market named 1st quarter of this year, but estimations for 2nd quarter yet have not published.
