To enhance funding by KRW 38 trillion to additional advance analysis, construct new fab
New manufacturing line in Pyeongtaek to be accomplished in 2H 2022, producing 14nm DRAM and 5nm logic chips
Samsung Electronics, a world chief in superior semiconductor expertise, at the moment introduced that it’s going to enhance its investments within the System LSI and Foundry companies by way of 2030 to a complete of KRW 171 trillion, to speed up analysis of cutting-edge semiconductor course of expertise and development of a brand new manufacturing facility.
The plan represents a rise of KRW 38 trillion from the earlier dedication of KRW 133 trillion introduced in April 2019 and is anticipated to assist the Company attain its aim of changing into the world chief in logic chips by 2030. For the previous two years, Samsung has been intently collaborating with varied semiconductor design corporations, part and gear producers, in addition to academia in making progress in the direction of that aim.
The enlargement of the Company’s Foundry Business will assist gas total new industries constructed on next-generation applied sciences like AI, 5G and autonomous driving.
The Company additionally introduced that it has begun development of a brand new manufacturing line in Pyeongtaek, Korea, which is anticipated to be accomplished within the second half of 2022. The state-of-the-art facility geared up with the newest expertise, P3, will produce 14-nanometer DRAM and 5-nanometer logic semiconductors, each primarily based on excessive ultraviolet (EUV) lithography expertise.
“The entire semiconductor industry is facing a watershed moment and now is the time to chart out a plan for long-term strategy and investment,” stated Dr. Kinam Kim, Vice Chairman and Head of Device Solutions Division at Samsung Electronics. “For the memory business, where Samsung has maintained its undisputed leadership position, the Company will continue to make preemptive investments to lead the industry.”
As one of many world’s largest semiconductor clusters, Pyeongtaek will function the main hub for next-generation improvements.
