Hanmi Semiconductor Attends Micron India Semiconductor Plant Opening: "AI Memory Packaging Hub"

Building an Advanced AI Memory Packaging Plant the Size of Seven Soccer Fields
Strengthening Long-Term Collaboration Through Bonder Equipment Supply and Engineer Dispatch

Hanmi Semiconductor has solidified its strategic partnership by attending the opening ceremony of Micron Technology's first semiconductor factory in India.

On March 3, Hanmi Semiconductor announced that it attended the opening ceremony of Micron's semiconductor plant in Sanand, Gujarat, India, on February 28.

Lee Jongjin, Executive Director of Hanmi Semiconductor, and Lee Myungho, Vice President, attended the opening ceremony of Micron's first semiconductor factory in India on the 28th of last month. Hanmi Semiconductor received a commemorative plaque for DDR5 DRAM manufactured in India from Sanjay Mehrotra, Chairman of Micron. Hanmi Semiconductor

The event was attended by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, other Indian government officials, Sanjai Mehrotra, Chairman of Micron, and key executives.

Hanmi Semiconductor was invited as a core equipment supplier for Micron's India plant.

Micron's India plant is an advanced packaging facility with a total investment of 2.75 billion US dollars (approximately 4 trillion won). The Indian government is providing a 50% subsidy and the state of Gujarat is providing a 20% subsidy, making this a national strategic project to foster the Indian semiconductor industry.

The India factory is equipped with a single-floor cleanroom covering 500,000 square feet (about 14,000 pyeong), which is equivalent to the size of seven soccer fields. It is planned to serve as a hub for testing and packaging high-performance artificial intelligence (AI) memory products, such as stacked graphic DRAM (GDDR) and enterprise SSDs (eSSD).

The DDR5 DRAM currently being produced in Gujarat, India, is a cutting-edge 1-gamma process product utilizing Micron's latest DRAM technology. This year, the company plans to begin packaging and testing tens of millions of chips, and next year, it aims to expand production to hundreds of millions of units. Accordingly, between 1 trillion and 2 trillion won will be invested in advanced semiconductor packaging equipment, such as TC bonders for stacked AI memory semiconductor chips.

This project is the first to be approved under India's Semiconductor Mission and also marks the first semiconductor factory in the country, making it historically significant. It is considered an important milestone in India's emergence as a key manufacturing base in the global semiconductor supply chain. The Indian government is pushing to become a global semiconductor manufacturing hub by implementing the 'Semicon India' policy and launching subsidies totaling approximately 10 billion US dollars (about 14.5 trillion won).

Hanmi Semiconductor plans to continue its long-term collaboration by dispatching engineers to India to provide close technical support and run training programs. Last year, Hanmi Semiconductor was selected as the top partner, receiving the 'Top Supplier' award from Micron.

A representative from Hanmi Semiconductor commented, "Attending the opening ceremony and roundtable for Micron's India plant reaffirms Hanmi Semiconductor's position as a key partner in the global semiconductor supply chain," adding, "We will dispatch engineers locally and actively provide technical support to ensure customer satisfaction."
