The South Korean government has greenlit the Yongin Semiconductor National Industrial Complex three months earlier than expected, which will significantly reduce the project planning timeline, reports BusinessKorea. The science park is said to be the world's largest semiconductor hub, accommodating multiple fabs, power plants, and fab suppliers.
The Yongin Semiconductor National Industrial Complex spans 7.28 square kilometers (equivalent to 1,020 soccer fields or 3.6 times the size of Monaco, or about half the size of Beverly Hills). It will feature six major semiconductor fabrication plants, three power plants, and 60 small and medium-sized enterprises specializing in materials, parts, and equipment necessary to keep the fabs operating. The first semiconductor plant in YSNIC is expected to begin operations by 2030.
