STM's MEMS Business to<br>Increase Thanks to iPhone
Switzerland based chip maker STMicroelectronics might see substantial sales growth at its MEMS-business unit (micro-electro-mechanical systems), analysts predicts.
STMicroelectronics will be a key supplier of MEMS units for the new Apple iPhone as well as iPod. Apple plans to ship up to 8 million iPhones and 35 million iPods in the second half of 2007. If these figures turn out to be the reality, STMicroeletronics' MEMS unit sales will at least double at its Taiwan branch, analysts said.
