According to media exposure, A sudden fire broke out at the SK Hynix plant in Wuxi. The current situation is not yet clear.
It is understood that the fire was the second plant project in Wuxi under construction by SK hynix. The total investment was 8.6 billion U.S. dollars. It was contracted to start in 2017. It plans to produce 200,000 10-nm wafers per month.
Fortunately, The place where the fire occurred was located on the project site and had no impact on the current production line, but it would definitely affect the construction of the new factory.
The global DRAM memory supply has been tense, and there is no sign of mitigation in the short term. As a result, the price of memory chips continues to remain high. NAND flash memory is basically stable, which also makes the SSD solid state disk market more stable.
It is hoped that SK Hynix will not let the global memory and flash memory market turmoil in this fire in Wuxi.
In fact, SK hynix has experienced many disasters in Wuxi. In 2008, there were power outages for four hours. In 2013, there were major fires. There were a large number of wafers scrapped, which had a significant impact on global DRAM memory and NAND flash memory supply.
SK hynix Semiconductor (China) Co., Ltd. was established in Wuxi in 2005 with a total investment of 10.5 billion U.S. dollars. It is the largest semiconductor investment company in the country and the most technologically advanced project. It is also the largest foreign investment project in Jiangsu Province.
