HANMI Semiconductor said on the 3rd that it attended the opening ceremony of Micron's semiconductor plant in India.
Micron set up a semiconductor plant in Sanand, Gujarat, India, and held its opening ceremony on the 28th of last month. This is the first time Micron has established a semiconductor plant in India. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended the opening ceremony and delivered a commemorative address. Major executives, including Micron Chair Sanjay Mehrotra, and Indian government officials attended. HANMI Semiconductor, invited as a key equipment supplier to Micron's India plant, attended the event.
A total of $2.75 billion (about 4 trillion won) was invested in establishing Micron's advanced packaging plant in India. The Indian government provided subsidies covering 50%, and Gujarat state provided subsidies covering 20%. Through its "Semicon India" policy, the Indian government plans to inject $10 billion (about 14.5 trillion won) in subsidies.
Micron's India semiconductor plant is equipped with a single‑story clean room measuring 500,000 square feet (about 14,000 pyeong), the size of seven soccer fields. It will operate as a hub for testing and packaging high‑performance AI memory, including stacked GDDR (graphics DRAM) and enterprise (e) SSD.
Through the plant established in Gujarat, India, Micron began production of DDR5 DRAM applying the 1‑gamma process. Micron plans to start packaging and testing tens of millions of chips this year and expand production to hundreds of millions next year. About 1 trillion won to 2 trillion won will be invested in advanced semiconductor packaging equipment such as TC Bonder, which mass‑produces stacked AI memory semiconductor chips.
HANMI Semiconductor plans to dispatch engineers to India to provide technical support and run training programs, continuing long‑term cooperation. A HANMI Semiconductor official said, "Attendance at the opening ceremony and roundtable for Micron's India plant is another opportunity for HANMI Semiconductor to be recognized as a core partner in the global semiconductor supply chain," adding, "We will dispatch engineers to India and strive for customer satisfaction with proactive technical support."
