Micron breaks ground on new HBM advanced packaging facility in Singapore

Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU) broke ground today on a new High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) advanced packaging facility adjacent to the company’s current facilities in Singapore. Micron marked the occasion with a ceremony attended by Gan Kim Yong, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade and Industry of Singapore, Png Cheong Boon, Chairman of the Singapore Economic Development Board, Pee Beng Kong, Executive Vice President of the Singapore Economic Development Board, and Tan Boon Khai, CEO of JTC Corporation.

The new HBM advanced packaging facility will be the first facility of its kind in Singapore. Operations for the new facility are scheduled to begin in 2026, with meaningful expansion of Micron’s total advanced packaging capacity beginning in calendar 2027 to meet the demands of AI growth. The launch of this facility will further strengthen Singapore's local semiconductor ecosystem and innovation.

Micron's HBM advanced packaging investment of approximately US $7 billion (SG$9.5 billion) through the end of the decade and beyond will initially create around 1,400 jobs, with site expansion plans to reach an estimated 3,000 jobs in the future. These new roles will include functions such as packaging development, assembly and test operations.

Micron's future expansion plans in Singapore will also support long-term manufacturing requirements for NAND.

Micron will maintain flexibility in managing the pace of capacity ramps in both the HBM and NAND facilities to align with market demand.

Micron’s current facility in Singapore is the first front-end semiconductor fab in the world to be recognized as the Advanced Fourth Industrial Revolution Lighthouse and Sustainability Lighthouse by the World Economic Forum. The new HBM advanced packaging facility will be built in alignment with Micron’s sustainability commitments. It will feature technologies such as a greenhouse gas abatement, water recycling and waste circularity (reduce, reuse, recycle, recover). The new building will be highly automated through AI-based intelligent solutions and designed to meet the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification requirements.
