[SINGAPORE] Semiconductor giant Micron Technology broke ground on Tuesday (Jan 27) morning on an advanced wafer fabrication facility in Woodlands as part of a major investment of US$24 billion over the next decade.

This brings Micron’s total investments in Singapore to around US$60 billion.

The new facility, located within the company’s existing Nand manufacturing complex, is Singapore’s first double-storey wafer fab. Output is scheduled to begin in the second half of 2028.


Micron said the facility is expected to create 1,600 jobs across roles in fab engineering and operations, advanced robotics and smart manufacturing technologies.

Together with Micron’s high-bandwidth memory advanced packaging facility – announced in 2025 – this brings the total number of new jobs created by the company’s recent investments in Singapore to 3,000.

The latest facility will address the “growing market demand for Nand technology driven by the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) and data-centric applications”, the company said.
