Russia has not rescued IT Bankrupt Qimonda

On a site of operating company GoIndustry DoveBid Group the equipment of the German manufacturer of microcircuits of memory Qimonda - for polishing of substrates, lithograph, etching, packing and testing of chips is exposed on sale. Auction will last tilll September, 21st, 2009

the equipment Exposed on auction is at factory Qimonda in Dresden. Manufacture on this platform has been suspended in April, and the decision definitively to close factory by the end of this year now is accepted. Most likely, it will sell in parts. Half from 200 serving enterprises, occupied now by equipment service, most likely, will be dismissed.

Qimonda has made the decision on manufacture closing just when other manufacturers of memory have started to inform on growth of demand for the production and, including, about plans on manufacture expansion. The prices for microcircuits DRAM grow, and in some segments of the market even their deficiency is observed.

According to Reuters, other actives Qimonda - namely, manufacture of microcircuits of memory GDDR for video cards, - have interested Japanese Elpida, applying for the post in Top-3 of this segment, after Samsung and Hynix. For this active applies also Taiwan Winbond Electronics, according to DigiTimes. Winbond wishes to licence developed Qimonda technology Buried Wordline and to receive a part of capacities Qimonda on release of chips GDDR-3 and GDDR-5 on the basis of 300-millimetric silicon substrates. According to DigiTimes, interests Elpida and Wnbond, probably, coincide: manufacture of memory of type GDDR for Elpida on technologies Qimonda can adjust on capacities Winbond.

Qimonda AG — the German company, in the past one of leading manufacturers of memory of type DRAM (the second in the world by results of first half of calendar 2006, By estimations Gartner Dataquest), the owner of intellectual property.

Sales Qimonda in 2008 financial year have made €1,8 billion As of January company staff included 12 thousand persons. By estimations of Russian Finama, probable cost Qimonda can make $60 million whereas all some years ago it was ten times above.

In December of last year the government of Germany has found on rescue Qimonda the loan in size €325 million, however these means have not helped. The management tried to find additional means, but unsuccessfully. In January, 2009 the company declared bankruptcy. Ruin principal causes — sharp reduction in demand in an economic crisis and a rigid competition in the market.

Now over the company the temporary head supervises. Search of new investors became its primary goal. But till now to the manufacturer of the chips which factories, except Dresden, are in Portugal, Malaysia and China while the semistate concerns from China and Taiwan have shown interest only.

FROM have deprived 0,5 mlrd results of competition of Minkomsvjazi under biopassports are cancelled

The federal antimonopoly service has made the decision on stay of placing of the state order for technical support and operation of an interdepartmental segment of the state system of manufacturing, registration and the control of passport and visa documents of new generation (biopassports) in 2009 On it CNews has informed. Maria Schneider. , the assistant to director FGUP scientific research institute the Rising, serving system now. We will remind, in competition on its support, which results of Minkomsvjazi has brought on July, 17th, 2009, the company Open technologies 98. Decision FAS was acccepted by results of consideration of the complaint of Rising (is available at the disposal of CNews), the service directed to the head. To Igor Artemyev.

On July, 16th, 2009 the Reason of cancellation of results of competition – discrepancy of the competitive documentation 94 FZ. FAS has decided to cancel competition reports, to return demands to its participants and to hold new competition. It is possible to familiarise with the complaint text. According to Rising, for example, Minkomsvjazi has incorrectly chosen a way of placing of the order – according to the order of the government of the Russian Federation the service provider on technics maintenance service should get out by auction, instead of competition. Besides, the specified place of performance of works – Moscow and Moscow Region - does not correspond to a place of actual carrying out of these works, is told in the document. One more point of the complaint is curious. To participation in competition copany LISSI which has not given to the information on the qualification has been admitted that, according to Rising contradicts the most competitive documentation. This company has played a key role in competition summarising.

In the demand it has dropped initial cost of the contract more than in 33 times – with 512 to 15 million, having made criterion of the price of the contract much less significant. Thus, the demand of Open technologies with the 495 million price could outstrip the demand of Rising with the price of 197 million Conclusion of the complaint of Rising en face is reduced to the following: it is obvious that the essential part from the criteria of an estimation of competitive demands specified by the customer is directed not so much on revealing of the most qualitative offer and the qualified participant, how many on artificial reduction of applicants for a victory. In Minkomsvjazi at the moment of the material publication could not comment on decision FAS and answer questions CNews. The information on when new competition will take place, in Rising have no, but say that will take in it part. In company Tehnoserv which also were taking part in cancelled competition, comments have refused.

In Open technologies CNews have declared that the company will be ready to give comments concerning decision FAS only after reception of the official notice from FAS and acquaintance with it.

As to participation in new competition if that will be declared, we will familiarise with its conditions and after that we will make the decision on participation or nonparticipation in it, - have informed also in Open technologies.

We will remind that after competition of Minkomsvjazi has spent auction on service of a hardware infrastructure of system of registration of biopassports in 2009 By its results a victory also the company Open technologies (the contract sum - almost 200 million rub). The scientific research institute participating in auction FGUP Rising did not begin to struggle for the contract and to lower the price, having explained it to that the winner of auction becomes in direct dependence on the winner of the previous competition. I. e.

, in case of a victory in new competition of the Rising, Open technologies will appear in an uneasy situation – they should provide the equipment support which part is physically located in territory FGUP scientific research institute Rising. Since yesterday Rising of an interdepartmental segment of system of registration of biopassports also intends to support its work up to the conclusion of the contract with the new executor when it would not take place. Review CNews prepares for the publication.
