[Exclusive] SK hynix Begins Groundwork on Japan Fab SK hynix has begun construction work for a memory semiconductor fab in Japan, just one month after the company said "nothing has been decided." According to industry sources on the 28th, SK hynix has reportedly started groundwork for a semiconductor fab in Japan's Tohoku region. "It's unclear whether it will be a standalone fab or a joint venture with Kioxia, but it's true that foundation work is underway on site," an industry source said. "It shows how strongly SK hynix wants to enter the Japanese market." The source added, "SK hynix has recently been asking domestic component suppliers to expand supply volumes. It's a sign the company is moving aggressively to respond to the memory supply shortage." As recently as a month ago, SK hynix said a memory fab in Japan was "under review" and that "nothing specific has been decided." If true, the company moved at remarkable speed, beginning site preparation within a single month. The Tohoku region is a major cluster for Japan's semiconductor and electronic components industries, with Iwate Prefecture at its core. Iwate hosts the Kitakami fab of Kioxia, a leading NAND flash maker, along with Japan Semiconductor, which makes microcontrollers (MCUs) and power MOSFETs, and Amkor Technology, which handles back end processing. Auto parts maker Denso and global chip equipment maker Tokyo Electron also have operations there. Adding the SK hynix memory fab now under construction would give the region a memory ecosystem spanning front end to back end processes. This is also why Tohoku emerged as a leading candidate after SK Group Chairman Chey Tae Won said in August that the group was considering a joint memory fab in Japan. At the time, Chey said SK was "considering anywhere with abundant power and water," which further raised the odds of a move into Tohoku. Iwate in particular is known for excellent water infrastructure, given the concentration of semiconductor companies there. If SK hynix builds a fab in Tohoku, Japan will complete a semiconductor triangle alongside TSMC in Kyushu and homegrown foundry Rapidus in Hokkaido, effectively linking the entire country through the semiconductor industry. Meanwhile, SK hynix maintains that nothing has been decided yet. "The Japan memory fab is currently under review," a company official said. "Nothing has progressed beyond that."

PSMC’s Fab IP masterclass. Took no risk, no investment and successfully got USD 620M from India. Now yield becomes Indian headache. Meanwhile, they have sold site to Micron where Indian engineers were to be trained and gained 1y DRAM tech from Micron. Enjoy the 90nm 😂

#IITDelhi Researchers Develop First Indigenously Designed Micro-Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) The #microGPU architecture developed by IIT Delhi researchers will enable indigenous graphics and display-processing systems for embedded applications. The project, led by M.Tech students Nammi Akash and M. Ravi Teja under the guidance of Prof. Jayadeva and Prof. Kaushik Saha from the Electrical Engineering Department, IIT Delhi, has demonstrated programmable graphics rendering using a custom floating-point GPU engine implemented entirely in Register Transfer Language (RTL) and mapped to a Spartan-7 Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) platform. “To the best of our knowledge, this is the first working, demonstrable indigenously designed micro-GPU from a university in India,” the researchers stated. The hardware architecture is a scalable programmable graphics processor IP suitable for applications such as industrial control displays, low-cost human-machine interfaces, e-rickshaw dashboard navigators, inland-water navigation terminals for small fishing boats, educational e-book readers, and other affordable embedded visualization systems. It may be mapped to silicon ASIC or programmable hardware such as FPGAs. The team is exploring a roadmap towards an 8–16 core vector-style graphics processor architecture with an optimized compiler and graphics software toolchain, along with eventual migration to a proof of concept at a 65nm ASIC process node. The researchers believe that mature semiconductor process nodes such as 65 nm can potentially enable economically viable and practically useful indigenous graphics silicon for embedded systems applications.

No wonder Samsung keeps going down in foundry market share. In spite of having an early start on GAA (at 3nm) compared to its rival, Samsung seems to have not earned the kind of trust TSMC has sammyfans.com/2026/09/23/qua…
