	...From Computerworld, November 14, p 156 (IN BRIEF)

NEC Corp is slated to invest about $160 Million to establish a
silicon-wafer diffusion-processing line for 16M-bit dynamic
random-access memory (DRAM) chips...Toshiba Corp., Hitachi Ltd. and
Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. all announced at the beginning of
the year that they had successfully developed 16M-bit DRAM technology
but none of the three has yet revealed a schedule for sample
production of the chip.

Separately, NEC is studying the possibility of producing
next-generation 4M-bit DRAM chips in the U.S., probably at its
Roseville, Calif., subsidiary.
