Micron Pledges $24 Billion for Singapore Expansion Amidst AI-Driven Memory Shortage
Micron Technology is investing $24 billion in Singapore to expand its wafer fabrication operations, adding 700,000 square feet of cleanroom space for NAND flash memory production. This move aims to address global memory chip shortages, driven by AI and data-intensive applications. A separate $7 billion facility for advanced packaging, focusing on High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM) crucial for AI, is also underway, with both expansions expected to create over 3,000 jobs. These expansions underscore Singapore’s growing importance in the global semiconductor supply chain.
