🚀📈 SK hynix Boosts #HBM #Production! 🚀📈 SK hynix is converting part of its #M10 #production line at the #Icheon #semiconductor #plant to produce #high #bandwidth #memory (#HBM) to meet rapidly increasing demand. With a new task force, the conversion includes setting up a 3,300 sqm #clean #room and introducing #new #equipment by early 2025. Due to infrastructure limitations and regulatory constraints, expanding existing facilities is challenging, prompting this strategic move. Industry pressure, particularly from NVIDIA, and a booming #HBM #market projected to hit $30 billion by 2026, necessitate this shift. SK Hynix’s CEO, Kwak Noh-Jung, highlighted that their 2024 HBM capacity is sold out, and 2025 is nearly full. In addition to the #M10 #conversion, SK hynix is planning large-scale expansions, including the new #M15X factory in #Cheongju, #South #Korea, and an #advanced #packaging #facility in Indiana, USA.📊🌐 #SKHynix #HBM #Semiconductors #TechInnovation #AI #NVIDIA #ProductionExpansion #TechNews #MarketLeadership #GlobalGrowth #FutureTech #2024KES

South Korea Strives to Boost #EDA #Competitiveness Lee Jong-ho, Korea's Minister of Science and ICT, recently met with semiconductor #Electronic #Design #Automation (#EDA) professionals to address South Korea's competitive gap in the #EDA #sector.
