Samsung Electronics has started installing equipment at its new semiconductor research and development center, <\/span>New Research & Development \u2013 K (NRD-K)<\/span><\/a>, in Yongin, south of Seoul. The facility will focus on memory, System large-scale integration devices and foundry R&D, with operations set to begin by mid-2025. Samsung plans to invest $14.3 billion (20 trillion won) in the center by 2030 to bolster its advanced chip design and manufacturing capabilities.<\/span><\/p>\n

The center will include advanced technologies such as high Numerical Aperture EUV lithography machines and wafer bonding systems to accelerate the development of next-generation semiconductors. Samsung Vice Chairman Jun Young-hyun said the facility would help the company strengthen its competitiveness in the global semiconductor market.<\/span><\/p>\n

WHY IT MATTERS<\/b><\/p>\n

Samsung\u2019s investment highlights its strategy to secure a stronger foothold in the semiconductor industry, where competition is increasingly tied to innovation and geopolitical risks. The move aligns with South Korea\u2019s broader efforts to <\/span>expand domestic chip production<\/span><\/a> and reduce dependence on foreign technologies amid heightened concerns over global supply chain security.<\/span><\/p>\n

The industry is bracing for changes as U.S. President-elect Donald Trump prepares to revisit trade policies that have previously targeted South Korea\u2019s <\/span>trade surplus<\/span><\/a> with the U.S. Moreover, Trump\u2019s criticism of Taiwan for \u201c<\/span>stealing<\/span><\/a>\u201d U.S. chip jobs and his threats of tariffs on Taiwanese semiconductors have raised broader concerns about supply chain disruptions, which could also affect Samsung.<\/span><\/p>\n

While TSMC remains the leader in the foundry market, Samsung\u2019s investment in NRD-K could help it reduce vulnerabilities tied to trade policies and compete more effectively in advanced chip technologies. The facility may also reinforce South Korea\u2019s role as a key player in the global semiconductor supply chain.<\/span><\/p>\n
