This is a chance to do advanced memory R&D at one of Singapore’s most recognised semiconductor sites. The site’s current fab was the first front-end fab in the world to be recognised by the World Economic Forum as both an Advanced Fourth Industrial Revolution Lighthouse and a Sustainability Lighthouse. The company is also investing about US$7 billion in a new HBM advanced packaging facility, the first of its kind in Singapore, and its future Singapore expansion plans will also support long-term NAND manufacturing.
