SK海力士将投资900亿，建设封装厂

Core Viewpoint - SK Hynix plans to invest 19 trillion KRW (approximately 90 billion RMB) in building its seventh semiconductor backend factory, P&T7, in Cheongju, South Korea, to enhance supply chain efficiency and future competitiveness while responding to government policies for regional balanced development [1][2]. Investment Details - The P&T7 factory will be constructed on a 70,000 pyeong site in the Cheongju Technopolis Industrial Park, with construction starting in April this year and expected completion by the end of next year [1]. - The total investment for the P&T7 factory is 19 trillion KRW, following the demolition of the old LG No. 2 factory on the site, which SK Hynix previously acquired [1]. Importance of Advanced Packaging - Advanced packaging is crucial for connecting frontend processes, logistics, and operational stability, especially for high bandwidth memory (HBM) products, which require effective packaging technology to address heat dissipation and warping issues [2]. - The investment will contribute to developing a comprehensive semiconductor industry cluster in Cheongju, integrating semiconductor production (including NAND flash, HBM, and DRAM) and advanced packaging [2]. Strategic Goals - The investment in the Cheongju P&T7 factory aims to strengthen the national long-term industrial foundation and create a structure for joint development between the capital region and provinces, moving beyond short-term efficiency considerations [3]. - The company is also focused on conditions that can alleviate investment burdens and enhance the government's capacity for executing large-scale long-term investments [3].
