Not sure about DRAM companies, but many businesses would still go under if they sold their annual production to a company that then goes bankrupt and won't pay anything for the delivered goods.

Hopefully they get paid more than once a year. Their risk is completely dependent on 1. the net X days until they are paid, and 2. How fast they delay shipment when/if a payment is delayed.
Everything is prepaid, just like you buy RAM online.
