Micron this week broke ground on its new fab in Singapore that will
be dedicated to manufacturing 3D NAND flash memory. Set to be completed
late next year, Micron is not disclosing the production capacity of the
new plant, only saying that its investments in the project are going to
total billions of U.S. dollars. In addition, the company is disclosing
its plans to expand its R&D activities in Singapore.

The new semiconductor production facility represents the third phase
of Micron’s Fab 10 expansion and will be located adjacent to the
existing complexes. The new plant will be built on a 165,000 m2
land plot at North Coast Drive. The new Fab is expected to be completed
sometimes in the middle of 2019, Micron plans to get the first wafers
from the new fab sometimes in Q4 2019. The ramp up of the facility is
going to take several quarters, so expect significant volumes of 3D NAND
memory to come out of the new fab towards the end of calendar 2020.
As noted, Micron already operates two 300-mm 3D NAND facilities in
Singapore called Fab 10N and Fab 10X, which were built earlier this
decade. These plants currently produce the lion’s share of Micron’s NAND
flash memory.
