IT Home news on December 29, due to the recent emergence of a new round of new crown pneumonia in Shaanxi Province, the epidemic prevention situation is very grim. In particular, the epidemic has affected some universities in Xi'an, posing a threat to the health and safety of the general public. In order to fully guarantee the victory of the battle against the epidemic, the official decision was to adopt closed management measures to reduce the flow of people as much as possible.
In this case, most companies can only work remotely, but some real economy companies can only stop production, for example, Samsung has now announced that it will temporarily adjust the operation of its Xi'an plant in China to protect the safety of employees as much as possible.
IT Home learned that Samsung's semiconductor factory is located at No. 1999, Zongsi Road, Chang'an District, Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, and is mainly responsible for the production of memory chips.
This is the second time that South Korea's Samsung Electronics has established a semiconductor production plant overseas after entering Austin in the United States in 1996, which is the largest investment scale project in the history of Samsung Electronics' overseas investment, the largest foreign investment project in the domestic electronic information industry since China's reform and opening up, and the largest foreign investment high-tech project introduced in Shaanxi and the western region.
Yonhap News Agency recently reported that Samsung's Xi'an flash memory manufacturing plant entered an emergency operation on Friday (December 24), and the company is considering keeping key employees in the factory to reduce contact with the outside world.
The company has two large factories in Xi'an, both of which are used to manufacture 3DNAND (three-dimensional flash memory, mainly for SSD products) high-rise products, accounting for 42.3% of the company's total NAND flash production capacity and 15.3% of global production capacity.
