SK hynix has broken ground on a $4 billion high-bandwidth memory (HBM) production facility in West Lafayette, Indiana, marking a significant step toward establishing an American supply chain for AI computing components. The South Korean memory chipmaker plans to invest over $4 billion in the project, with cleanroom construction scheduled for completion in October 2028 and mass production of next-generation HBM expected to begin in the second half of 2029.
This investment effectively connects South Korea’s advanced memory manufacturing base with U.S. AI infrastructure, creating a cross-border supply chain for HBM, a critical component in AI computing that has become strategically important to the global AI industry.
