“As we reported earlier this month, current weakness in the DRAM market has impacted our business, as customers have been dramatically delaying test capacity expansions and pushing out technology transitions,” stated Mario Ruscev, President of FormFactor.  “FormFactor is taking appropriate measures to better align operations and expenses with the current market environment, while continuing our strategic investments in R&D to maintain our technology leadership and position us for the future.”
