There have been rumors for a while in the German financial press (Frankfurter Allgemeine etc) that infineon would spin off it's dram division or IPO it. This would not be an easy thing to do as they produce about 40% of Infineon's revenue.
In the Denali Memory Report(DMR) this month there is also a section on this:
Infineon Stands Pat in DRAMs…so says Manager Magazine Putting to rest the latest rumor that it would vacate its DRAM market position by spinning off the DRAM unit with a Fall 2005 IPO, Infineon's CEO Wolfgang Ziebart has told Manager Magazine that he has no such plans, but cautiously being quoted as, “the measures that outsiders recommend are not appropriate.” This leaves him an opening to suggest any 'alternative solution.' to Infineon's DRAM financial problems, and many options are being bandied about the industry, among them a possible merger of DRAM operations with Nanya, with whom Infineon already shares common DRAM technology roadmap and a Joint Venture fab in Taiwan....
Cheers Cor
