Samsung to spruce up semicon facilities?

SEOUL, S.KOREA: Foreseeing an uptrend in the semiconductor market by the second half of the current fiscal, Samsung Electronics has lined up an investment to the tune of over one trillion dollar in its facilities.

The company will pump in the money to expand its semiconductor facilities during the second half. Samsung expects the semiconductor scenario to do a turnaround during the second quarter itself.

According to Kwon, Oh-hyun, president of the firm who spoke to the media after the signing of the memorandum of understanding between Hyundai Motors and Samsung Electronics said, "In the second half, semiconductor market will improve and we will more invest in the second half."

It is expected that a major quantum of the money would go into introduction of DRAM 40 nano and Nand 30 nano and shifting main process to 50 nano and 40 nano Nand. Oh-hyun said the company would go in for mass-production of 46 nano process product in the third quarter and then look at sprucing up the DDR3 DRAM portion from next year.

Kwon feels that "System semiconductor business is small but growth will be better than memory semiconductor. We have already set strategy for growth. We will surely turn around in the second quarter."

Samsung is believed to be treading cautiously but would go ahead with its 10 line fab expansion in Hwasung. The company is said to be lining up measures to shift 10 lines to 300mm fab for operation within the current year.
