China’s Yangtze Memory Technologies plans to build two fabs beyond the Phase 3 plant it’s due to complete in Wuhan this year, a move that would more than double its current wafer output, Reuters reported today, citing three sources familiar with the plans.
Each of the three new plants will produce 100,000 wafers per month at full capacity, while YMTC's existing two Wuhan fabs produce a combined 200,000 wafers per month. Phase 3 is expected to begin operations late this year and reach 50,000 wpm by 2027, with equipment installation already underway, per the sources that Reuters cited.
