Samsung to build chip factory operated entirely by AI

Samsung aims to use more AI in its semiconductor factories

According to AsiaNews , Samsung Electronics (South Korea) plans to fully automate semiconductor factories by 2030, with smart sensors controlling the production process.

The world's largest memory chipmaker aims to create an "artificial intelligence factory" that operates without human labor. The groundbreaking project is reportedly underway.

Samsung has signaled since last year that it is looking to AI to optimize integrated circuit (IC) design, material development, manufacturing, productivity improvement, and packaging. Identifying the causes of defects in the manufacturing process is said to be a top priority of the AI plan.

Samsung is developing its own sensors and shifting procurement from foreign to domestic suppliers to gain control of the technology and develop related expertise.

In a related development, according to Bloomberg on January 17, South Korea has just announced plans by leading companies to spend more than 470 billion USD to establish the world's largest chip manufacturing center near Seoul.

The plan involves private sector investment through 2047 to build 13 new chip factories and three research facilities, adding to 21 existing factories.

Stretching from the Pyeongtaek to Yongin areas, it will be the world's largest chip manufacturing site, expected to produce 7.7 million semiconductor wafers by 2030.

The planned investment has surged since Seoul first announced Samsung and Hynix's plans for 2023. The South Korean government , working closely with private companies, has stepped up support for the domestic chip sector, which accounts for about 16% of total exports.

As part of a two-decade plan, Samsung and Hynix are preparing to build the most complex chip factories in their home country.

Samsung is investing heavily in foundries, or manufacturing chips for other companies, as part of a 500 trillion won investment by 2047. Smaller rival Hynix aims to invest 122 trillion won in memory over the same period.
