TAIPEI — Samsung will invest $7 billion over a three-year period to ramp up a Chinese fab to expand production of NAND flash memory that’s in strong demand for smartphones and other mobile devices.
The investment is for a new fab in Xi’an that would be the second chip facility at the northern China site. On Monday (Aug. 28), Samsung approved $2.3 billion of the expected investment of $7 billion, according to reports by Reuters and Bloomberg that said the South Korea-based chipmaker was their news source.
