Micron Completes Acquisition of PSMC's Tongluo P5 Site in Taiwan
Existing cleanroom retrofit to begin in March with plans to begin construction of a similar-sized second cleanroom at this site by the end of fiscal 2026
BOISE, Idaho, March 15, 2026 -- Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU) today announced it has completed the acquisition and assumed ownership of Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation’s (PSMC) P5 site in Tongluo, Miaoli County, Taiwan, under the acquisition agreement previously announced on January 17, 2026.
The new site will complement Micron’s existing operations in Taiwan as an extension of the company’s vertically integrated mega campus in Taichung, located approximately 15 miles away. The site includes approximately 300,000 square feet of existing 300mm cleanroom space and will support Micron’s efforts to expand supply of leading-edge DRAM products, including HBM, to meet growing AI-driven demand.
Micron began preparations for the new Tongluo site following the deal announcement in January 2026 and will begin retrofitting the existing cleanroom now that the transaction has been completed. The new Tongluo site is expected to support meaningful product shipments from the existing fab beginning in fiscal 2028. The company is also planning the next phase of expansion at the site, with construction set to begin by the end of fiscal 2026 on a second facility of comparable scale, adding approximately 270,000 square feet of cleanroom space.
“The Tongluo facility complements our Taiwan operations and is a critical component of our global expansion plans,” said Manish Bhatia, executive vice president of global operations at Micron Technology. “Memory is a strategic asset that dictates AI product performance, and the acquisition and phased ramp of this site strengthens our ability to capitalize on these significant opportunities. We appreciate the strong collaboration from the Taiwan government, our construction partners, and equipment and materials suppliers to enable and accelerate the ramp of our production capacity at this site.”
Micron thanks PSMC, the Taiwan central government, including the Ministry of Economic Affairs, National Science and Technology Council, and Hsinchu Science Park, as well as Miaoli County Government, for their strong support, collaboration to ensure a swift and successful acquisition process, and commitment in enabling the new site, leveraging the efficiency and speed of execution fueled by the world-class semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem in Taiwan.
