IT Home reported on February 20 that although Samsung's semiconductor business is facing ongoing challenges, the company is still optimistic about the market prospects in the second half of this year. In order to improve efficiency and better respond to market demand, Samsung is making some adjustments to its chip factory.
Specifically, Samsung is adjusting the construction schedule of its P4 factory in Pyeongtaek, South Korea, to prioritize the construction of PH2 cleanrooms. Previously, Samsung had announced the suspension of the construction of a new production line at the P5 factory.
Samsung is adjusting its construction plans according to market dynamics. Pyeongtaek is one of Samsung's major semiconductor manufacturing centers, where Samsung's foundry business is concentrated, and where the company produces memory chips. Currently, P1, P2 and P3 plants are already in operation, and P4 and P5 are under construction.
With the construction of the P5 factory temporarily stalled, Samsung will focus on completing the P4's PH2 cleanroom, which will be dedicated to foundry chip manufacturing. Samsung is working hard to expand its foundry capacity in hopes of snatching more customers from TSMC.
The P4 line will also have a PH3 cleanroom for the production of memory chips such as DRAM. According to reports, Samsung adjusted its construction plans because they believe that demand for these products will rise in the near future and want to prepare production capacity to meet demand.
IT Home noted that although Samsung previously said that the P5 production line was suspended for inspections, market analysts believe that Samsung is likely to be slowing down the pace of construction due to the market downturn. Samsung has been hit hard by the tough market situation and has even canceled all bonuses for employees in the chip division this year.
