To stay competitive in the Semiconductor DRAM industry you have to produce bigger better and faster to compete with other competitors. Qimonda's biggest competitor right now is Micron, but Micron is dominating the market because Qimonda's Richmond 300mm fab is having problems producing chips and Infineon, Qimonda's parent company is selling all of their shares of Qimonda stock to cut all ties with the company. Therefore, Qimonda has to keep producing just to stay competitive.
