Samsung invests 16 billion euros in new chip factories

Samsung invests 16 billion euros in new chip factories

Samsung has been fabbing two new manufacturing plants for chips. The new plant on Pyeongtaek has started mass producing the first chips, that one did cost almost 12 billion and will focus on the production of Samsung’s fourth-generation V-NAND (64 layers).

In addition, Samsung’s plans to construct a second semiconductor fabrication line in Xi’an, China, site are also under review. Samsung’s first semiconductor fabrication line in Xi’an was constructed in 2014 and is presently in full operation.

  • By 2021, Samsung will invest a total of 16 Billion euros  into its current Pyeongtaek line to expand its semiconductor fabrication capacity
  • Samsung also plans to invest 5 Billion in its Hwaseong, South Korea, site for a semiconductor fabrication line optimized to install state-of-the-art infrastructure including Extreme Ultra Violet (EUV) equipment
  • Samsung Display is reviewing plans to establish a new OLED manufacturing site in Asan, South Korea, by 2018

With the new investments, Samsung aims to strengthen its global fabrication network and accelerate the overall development of the IT industry. 

Although Samsung is best known for its smartphones, tablets and TVs, the company earns bigtime with its chip production facilities. In the first quarter of 2017 this branch accounted for over three quarters of operating profit.

Good to see them building factories in Korea instead of putting them all in China.

Am I the only one who thinks they are trying to please someone (particular or population as a whole) in Korea...well... to close some nasty corruption cases against them?

What I personally do wait for is high capacity cheap SSD media storage offering. Current Samsung 4TB is at whopping 1.5k USD and is not really suitable for storage media (excluding noise freaks - like me - with bottomless wallet - not like me :( ).

Cheap, 300-400 USD mark, 4TB with "slow" read / write speeds (something around 100-200MB/s) but without noise issue and low power consumption would definitely find customers. One can dream...

Currencies need to increase in value for prices of imported goods to drop. Cant keep outsourcing and expect your country's currency to maintain its value.
