Samsung will build semiconductor plants in China to meet the increased demand for flash memory
Global Network reporter Chang reported , according to South Korea, “Central Daily” reported on December 7, Samsung Electronics in China set up a “cutting edge” of the semiconductor production line, which is following the USA and Germany Texas, the Samsung set up the second time in semiconductor production lines overseas.
According to reports, Samsung Electronics said 6 released, in response to increased demand for NAND FLASH memory, decided to build factories in China and South Korea Ministry of Knowledge Economy has submitted an application.
Samsung Electronics plans to use a new set of semiconductor production line 20nano below the NAND FLASH memory, the demand for the product as smart phones and tablet PCs growing quickly spread. Samsung began in October of this year in Korea Hwaseong factory production 20nano following NAND FLASH memory. It is reported that Samsung has chosen to actively respond to China for the Chinese market in the world semiconductor market in the increasingly important role. As the world of information technology (IT) industry in China increases, the demand for NAND FLASH memory is also growing rapidly.
reported that, according to market research firm Gartner predicted that the proportion of smart phones produced in China is expected to increase from 37% this year, 48% in 2015, the production of tablet PCs in China this year to reach of 96%. With the use of NAND FLASH memory of the proportion of IT equipment production in China increases, the multinational IT companies are in China have demanded direct semiconductor. In fact, Intel and Hynix and other enterprises operating in China, 12-inch semiconductor production line. Although Samsung has a semiconductor plant in Suzhou, China, South Korea, but only in the production of chips simply assembled into modules only.
However, Samsung has yet to determine the scale of investment in semiconductor factories and investment areas. “Central Daily” analysis, in order to build cutting-edge semiconductor production lines, need to spend 4 trillion (about 22.5 billion yuan) to 50,000 won. Samsung Electronics in the South Korean government’s permission, with the Chinese local government consultations on issues of site selection, planning began in 2012 building the fastest production lines, and put into production in 2013.
