SK Hynix is in advanced discussions with New York state about building a semiconductor manufacturing facility in Oneida County. The potential project, involving its U.S. subsidiary Solidigm, could create hundreds of jobs. It would also support the broader U.S. strategy to increase domestic chip production.
Separately, SK Hynix and Samsung are upgrading their factories in China to produce more advanced NAND memory chips. SK Hynix aims to make flash NAND memory with more than 200 layers at its Chinese plants to meet growing global demand. The initiatives in the U.S. and China are expected to strengthen SK Hynix’s position in the global semiconductor market.
