Memory packaging and testing firm Powertech Technology (PTI) has revised downward its capex budget for 2011 to less than NT$10 billion (US$345 million) from the previously-planned NT$11 billion, according to a Chinese-language Economic Daily News (EDN) report.
The report also revealed that PTI has decided to defer orders for several billion NT dollars worth of DRAM packaging and testing equipment. Its major tool suppliers including Hitachi High-Technologies would be affected, the report added.
