Micron Sees New Singapore Plant as Key in Meeting Demand for AI-Enabling Chips

|July 03, 2025
Production at $8.9b facility will start in 2026 and it will initially create 1,400 jobs
A new US$7 billion (S$8.9 billion) plant being built in Singapore will underpin Micron Technology's plans to produce advanced semiconductors needed for artificial intelligence (AI) applications.
The facility, which is adjacent to Micron's existing plant in Woodlands, was announced earlier in 2025 and will initially create 1,400 jobs, with that increasing to around 3,000.
Production at the plant will start in 2026, allowing the American chipmaking giant to increase its output of what are known as AI-enabling high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips, according to Mr Sumit Sadana, its executive vice-president and chief business officer.
The chips contain several layers that make a cube able to store and process large amounts of data faster while consuming a lot less power than conventional chips.
They enable graphics processing units and other accelerators made by companies such as Nvidia and AMD to process generative AI workloads at data centers.
