MOS device market to reaffirm strength in '99

Article Abstract:

Industry analysts believe that the global market for MOS microprocessors would grow by 8.8% to $50.288 billion in 1999. The analysts add that the market would grow by 15% annually during the succeeding years. On the other hand, demand for MOS memory chips would grow by 8% to $23.542 billion in 1999 after suffering three consecutive years of decline. Analysts add further that MOS memory chips would grow by an average of 7.2% annually between 1997 and 2001.

Thermistors, varistors face difficulties in '99

Article Abstract:

The global demand for thermistors and varistors is expected to weaken in 1999 due to the lack of new uses for these products. The demand for surface-mountable negative temperature coefficient thermistors, however, is likely to surge particularly from cellular telephone manufacturers. In Japan, production of thermistors and varistors dropped 15% in 1998 and is expected to fall by another 5% in 1999.
