SK Hynix's Solidigm unit is weighing NAND memory chip factory in US, sources say
SK Hynix's US subsidiary Solidigm is considering the construction of a factory to produce NAND flash memory chips in the United States, according to three sources familiar with the matter. Upstate New York is seen as a potential location for the proposed factory. The South Korean chipmaker is under increasing pressure from the Trump administration to boost US manufacturing, amid the administration's push to relocate semiconductor production.
The impending shortage of memory chips, driven by robust investment in AI data centers, is another factor prompting the consideration. The project would be distinct from discussions Solidigm has with Intel regarding memory chip manufacturing at Intel's Ohio facility.
