SK Hynix subsidiary Solidigm is evaluating plans to build a NAND flash memory factory in the United States. Upstate New York has emerged as a leading candidate for the potential facility.
The expansion targets a global memory chip shortage driven by massive AI data center investments. U.S. government incentives to boost domestic semiconductor manufacturing are also influencing the move.
This project remains separate from SK Hynix’s ongoing discussions with Intel regarding memory production in Ohio. SK Hynix stated that Solidigm is exploring options to improve competitiveness, though no concrete plans are confirmed.
