Sources: SK Hynix subsidiary Solidigm weighs building a NAND flash memory factory in the US; SK Hynix is also in talks with Intel for a separate project in Ohio (Reuters)
Chipmaker SK Hynix's (000660.KS) subsidiary Solidigm is considering building a NAND flash memory chip factory in the US …
A report suggests that China's leading DRAM manufacturer, CXMT, is considering producing 3D NAND memory, according to Reuters. The company plans to construct a 3D NAND research and development production line at its upcoming second manufacturing facility near Beijing. Although there is no information on when this experimental production line will become operational, it is at least two or three years away given that CXMT's second Beijing fab has not yet broken ground.
CXMT established a research institute in Beijing for NAND flash development projects, though the company has not officially confirmed any 3D NAND initiatives. CXMT's potential foray into 3D NAND could be driven by commercial interests, strategic importance, or Chinese government policies to bolster semiconductor self-sufficiency.
