Samsung to Build $1.5B Vietnam Chip Testing Plant for AI-Driven Memory Shortage

Original: 三星斥資 15 億美元在越南建首座晶片測試廠,鎖定 AI 浪潮下的傳統記憶體缺口

Samsung will build a $1.5B chip testing plant in Vietnam to address AI-driven memory supply gaps.

Samsung is investing $1.5 billion to build its first chip testing plant in Vietnam, aiming to respond to memory supply gaps created by surging AI demand. The report says AI-related demand has crowded out capacity for traditional DRAM and NAND products, creating pressure in legacy memory supply. The move also reflects Samsung’s broader supply-chain diversification strategy amid U.S.-China competition and rising geopolitical risk.

Samsung plans to invest US$1.5 billion to build a semiconductor testing plant in Vietnam, with the core purpose of responding to the crowding-out effect on the memory supply chain caused by the rapid expansion of AI demand. The original report notes that the AI wave is driving up demand for high-end computing and memory, causing some capacity to be reallocated to higher-value or more urgent product lines, which in turn creates a supply gap for traditional DRAM and NAND. By establishing its first chip testing plant in Vietnam, Samsung is attempting to reinforce related capacity and back-end process capabilities, making the supply of traditional memory more flexible.
