Feds Widen DRAM Chip Probe With Mitsubishi Electric Added

The U.S. government widened the net of a criminal probe into price-fixing among computer memory chip companies, ensnaring Japan's Mitsubishi Electric. Mitsubishi is no longer in the DRAM industry, but that doesn't mean they wont get tied into this legal mess.

Mitsubishi Electric, which exited the DRAM business in 2003, is at least the sixth company to get caught up in the investigation. According to Mitsubishi, the DOJ's antitrust division has requested documents and other information about the DRAM business involving Mitsubishi Electric and Electronics USA, as well as its Japanese parent company.
