SK Hynix is racing to complete the first cleanroom at its massive Yongin Semiconductor Cluster in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, by February 2027, ahead of rival capacity expansion timelines. The site's first fabrication facility will break from conventional flat-floor layouts, stacking production floors three levels high in a pioneering triple-deck fab design.

Applied Materials has opened a new $500m manufacturing and research campus in Singapore.  The new Tampines Campus, which is already operating at volume production, more than doubles the company's cleanroom footprint in Singapore and forms a key part of its Singapore 2030 growth strategy. Designed to support chipmakers increasing production capacity for AI applications and advanced semiconductor

Micron Technology has selected Bechtel as the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) partner for the first phase of its semiconductor manufacturing complex in Clay, New York. The appointment marks the next phase of development at the site, where Micron broke ground on its first fabrication plant in January 2026.  Bechtel will immediately mobilise at the White Pine Commerce Park location

Sum Technology has secured a RM20.46m (about $5m) contract to deliver a semiconductor cleanroom facility for outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) provider, K Test Malaysia.  The contract was awarded to the company's wholly owned subsidiary, Sum Technic, and covers the design and construction of an ISO Class 8 cleanroom facility  that is 120,000 sqft, which will incorporate ISO Class

SpaceX has completed the largest stock market debut in history, raising $75bn and achieving a valuation of approximately $1.77 trillion, a move that has intensified attention on the future infrastructure needed to support AI, satellite communications and space-based manufacturing.
