Hynix Semiconductor Inc.
 PROFILE
Hynix Semiconductor wants to be king of the memory mountain. The company, part of South Korean conglomerate Hyundai Group, is battling Samsung Electronics and Micron Technology to be crowned the world's largest maker of dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) chips. Hynix also makes static random-access memories (SRAMs), flash memory, and application-specific integrated circuits. Semiconductors account for nearly 65% of sales. The company, which changed its name from Hyundai Electronics Industries (HEI) in 2001 as part of its plan to separate from Hyundai Group, is streamlining to reduce its crippling debt. Hynix has spun off all non-core business units, including its telecom handset, asymmetric DSL, and LCD units.
