At the far edge of the Cheongju Technopolis Industrial Complex in Oebuk-dong, Heungdeok-gu, Cheongju-si, Chungcheongbuk-do, the imposing silhouette of SK hynix\u2019s nearby Cheongju Campus M15X stretches long across the horizon, while a vast expanse of land unfolds far beyond the line of sight. On this day, the usual stillness gave way to a palpable tension and the bustle of activity.<\/p>\n

This is the site where SK hynix\u2019s P&T7* <\/sup> will be built. After a long wait, the groundbreaking ceremony finally took place, marking the moment this site began its transformation into a stronghold of advanced packaging technology, a critical factor in Korea\u2019s semiconductor competitiveness, and a key production hub for supplying the global AI memory market at scale.<\/p>\n
