Samsung Electronics NRD-K semiconductor R&D complex will import ASML High NA EUV lithography equipment

Jinsan data news on November 20th, Samsung Electronics held a groundbreaking ceremony for the NRD-K new semiconductor R&D complex located in the Xingyuan Industrial Park. The NRD-K semiconductor R&D complex will become the common core R&D base for the three major business divisions (Memory, System LSI, and Foundry) under Samsung Electronics’ DS division. By 2030, this project will accumulate approximately 200 trillion Korean won in investment. NRD-K will also include a dedicated R&D line, which is scheduled to be operational by mid-2025. The NRD-K complex will introduce a series of state-of-the-art semiconductor production tools, including ASML High NA EUV lithography machines and new material deposition equipment, aiming to accelerate the development of next-generation storage chips such as 3D DRAM and k-layer V-NAND.
