SK海力士宣布在韩国龙仁和清州建设新晶圆厂,并批准总额约54万亿韩元(约380亿美元)的投资,其中龙仁Y2厂投资35.2万亿韩元,清州M17厂投资19.1万亿韩元。该投资旨在扩大DRAM和NAND产能,特别是HBM等下一代DRAM产品,以应对AI半导体市场需求。此举将影响未来存储芯片供应,与电子元器件供应链密切相关。
- SK海力士董事会批准总投资约54万亿韩元(约380亿美元),其中龙仁Y2厂35.2万亿韩元,清州M17厂19.1万亿韩元。
- 龙仁Y2厂是龙仁半导体集群四个晶圆厂中的第二个,总建筑面积约34.1万坪(约113万平方米),计划2025年7月动工,2029年6月启用首个洁净室,生产HBM和其他下一代DRAM产品。
- 清州M17厂总建筑面积约20.6万坪(约68万平方米),计划2025年2月动工,2028年12月启用首个洁净室,作为NAND生产基地。
- SK海力士计划将龙仁半导体集群的完工时间从2045年提前至2033年,Y2建设是加速计划的一部分,投资持续至2031年10月。
- SK海力士选择清州是因为其晶圆厂建设周期最快。
- SK海力士官员表示,投资是为了抓住市场增长机遇,通过提前确保产能,成为AI基础设施的关键合作伙伴,为全球AI半导体供应链稳定做出贡献。
供应链影响
- SK海力士扩大DRAM和NAND产能,可能增加未来存储芯片供应,影响全球存储市场供需平衡。
- HBM等下一代DRAM产品的生产可能增强AI半导体供应链的稳定性,但具体影响取决于市场需求和技术进展。
- 龙仁和清州工厂的建设进度可能影响SK海力士的产能释放时间,进而影响下游电子元器件供应链的供应节奏。
- 投资规模巨大,可能影响SK海力士的资本支出和财务结构,进而影响其供应链合作伙伴的订单和合作模式。
- 提前完成集群建设可能加速产能扩张,但实际供应量取决于市场吸收能力和竞争格局。

SK海力士宣布,已决定在韩国龙仁和清州建设新的晶圆厂,并在董事会会议上批准了总额约54万亿韩元(约380亿美元)的投资——其中35.2万亿韩元用于龙仁“Y2”厂,19.1万亿韩元用于清州“M17”厂。
这一决定是公司去年6月宣布的中长期投资战略的执行。根据其总体规划,SK海力士将在龙仁半导体集群投资600万亿韩元,并投资100万亿韩元扩建清州生产基地。目前,SK海力士正在建设龙仁的第一座晶圆厂(Y1)。SK海力士在新闻稿中表示,通过这一最新决定,公司将在龙仁和清州启动后续晶圆厂的建设。
龙仁Y2是龙仁半导体集群计划中依次建设的四座晶圆厂中的第二座。它将作为DRAM生产基地,总建筑面积达34.1万坪(约113万平方米)。建设计划于明年7月破土动工,目标是在2029年6月启用首个洁净室,生产HBM和其他下一代DRAM产品。与此同时,Y1的建设正在顺利进行,其首个洁净室的目标启用时间为明年2月。
SK海力士此前设定了将龙仁半导体集群的完工时间提前12年的目标——从原计划的2045年提前至2033年——以完成全部四座晶圆厂的建设。新闻稿称,Y2建设是支持这一加速时间表的第二阶段,投资将持续至2031年10月。
SK海力士表示,选择清州作为其新的NAND晶圆厂基地,是因为该地提供了最快的晶圆厂建设时间表。清州M17将建在总面积20.6万坪(约68万平方米)的土地上,于明年2月破土动工,计划于2028年12月启用首个洁净室。
“这项投资是为了抓住市场增长速度带来的机遇而做出的决定,”SK海力士一位官员表示。“通过主动确保生产能力,我们旨在将自己打造为AI基础设施的关键合作伙伴,为全球AI半导体供应链的稳定做出贡献。”

SK hynix has announced that it has decided to build new fabs in Yongin and Cheongju in South Korea and has approved a total investment of approximately 54 trillion won (about USD 38 billion) — 35.2 trillion won in Yongin “Y2” fab and 19.1 trillion won in the Cheongju “M17” fab, in a board meeting.
This decision represents execution of the mid-to-long-term investment strategy announced by the company last June. Under its master plan to invest 600 trillion won in the Yongin Semiconductor Cluster and 100 trillion won to expand its Cheongju production base, SK hynix is currently constructing its first fab in Yongin (Y1). With this latest decision, the company is embarking on the construction of subsequent fabs in both Yongin and Cheongju, SK hynix said in a press release.
Yongin Y2 is the second of four fabs planned sequentially for the Yongin Semiconductor Cluster. It will serve as a DRAM production base spanning a total floor area of 341,000 pyeong (approximately 1,130,000m²). Construction is scheduled to break ground in July next year, targeting the opening of its first cleanroom in June 2029 to produce HBM and other next-generation DRAM products. Meanwhile, construction on Y1 is progressing smoothly toward its initial cleanroom opening target of February next year.
SK hynix previously set a goal to advance the completion date of the Yongin Semiconductor Cluster by 12 years — from the originally planned 2045 to 2033 — to finish constructing all four fabs. The Y2 construction serves as the second phase supporting this accelerated timeline and the investment spans to October 2031 sequentially, the press release said.
SK hynix said it selected Cheongju as its new NAND fab base because it offers the fastest fab construction timeline. Cheongju M17 will be built across a total area of 206,000 pyeong(approximately 680,000m²), breaking ground in February next year with plans to open its first cleanroom in December 2028.
“This investment is a decision made to seize opportunities in line with the market’s growth speed,” an SK hynix official said. “By proactively securing production capabilities, we aim to establish ourselves as a key partner in AI infrastructure, contributing to the stability of the global AI semiconductor supply chain.”
