An official announcement to this effect will be made later today, when South Korean President Moon and U.S. President Biden are scheduled to hold their first Summit meeting, in Washington DC. The proposed investment would be used to build a new semiconductor wafer fabrication facility and purchase new production machinery & equipment used in connection with manufacturing, processing and fabricating semiconductors in a cleanroom environment.". Yet, these applications can hardly be considered even as optioned fabs as semiconductor fabrication facilities will cost significantly more in the looming High-NA EUV era. The NAND market has become flooded with aggressive, technologically-capable manufacturers. The report says that construction on the fab will start in Q3 2021 at an estimated cost of $18 billion.
