SAN FRANCISCO — Chinese government-backed Tsinghua Unigroup has established a new DRAM unit in a renewed push to achieve semiconductor independence amid ongoing friction with the U.S.
The new memory unit is led by CEO Charles Kao, chairman of Inotera Memories and former president of Nanya Technology, both of which make DRAM. Kao is also chairman of Yangtze Memory Technology (YMTC), another Tsinghua Unigroup venture attempting to produce NAND flash memory.
