SK hynix's proposed KRW400 trillion (about US$299 billion) semiconductor expansion in southwestern South Korea faces a site-planning complication involving military facilities used by U.S. forces, according to DIGITIMES. The project is intended to add manufacturing capacity as the company competes with Micron and Chinese producers. The report says the issue could complicate construction timing; it does not provide a revised schedule or identify how much memory output the plan would add.
