The biggest investment of KRW 200.2bn ($170m) will be an upgrade to increase capacity for the production of systems on chips, smart cards and image sensors. Samsung said that as these products become more sophisticated, it needs to build up capacity.
Already the world’s largest memory chip producer, Samsung will invest KRW 104.9bn ($90m) on memory assembly and testing equipment to handle increased production in the first half of 2003. It aims to respond to increased demand for DRAMs and flash memory for mobile devices.
