The newly launched line adopts a full-chain IDM model, covering the entire manufacturing process from epitaxial material growth and chip fabrication to advanced packaging. The facility enables integrated closed-loop production from silicon-based GaN epitaxy to finished Micro LED devices.

SK Hynix Inc plans to double its memory chip capacity over the coming half-decade, a major expansion that should help ease a global shortage of an essential component of artificial intelligence (AI). The company is responding to an endemic deficit of storage chips that could last till 2030, SK Group chairman Chey Tae-won told reporters in Taipei, upholding a previous estimate.

SK Hynix is ramping up spending to address that demand-supply imbalance though it is hard to quantify because of volatile prices for a panoply of resources including land, equipment and electricity, Chey said.

HANOI, May 27 (Reuters) - Samsung Electronics (005930.KS), opens new tab plans to invest 39 trillion dong ($1.5 billion) ​in Vietnam to build a semiconductor testing plant, its proposal document showed, an expansion that will help ‌ease a global shortage of memory chips driven by surging AI demand.
The new factory, for which construction has already begun in an industrial park 60 kilometres (37 miles) north of Hanoi, is slated to start operations in November 2027, the document sent to local authorities in April and reviewed by Reuters ​showed.

Dutch semiconductor equipment manufacturer ASML Holding NV announced an upward adjustment to its Taiwan recruitment strategy, raising its hiring target to 1,000 new employees this year.
