On April 24th, Samsung Electronics officially announced that it will invest 133 trillion won (about 111.7 billion US dollars) by 2030 to enhance the company's competitiveness in system LSI and foundry.

Among them, 73 trillion won will be used for technology research and development, and 60 trillion won will be used to build infrastructure such as fabs. Samsung said that this decision will also create 15,000 jobs.

Samsung plans to invest about 11 trillion won annually to help the company become the world's leading memory and logic chip maker by 2030.

In the Samsung business, the semiconductor business accounts for a high proportion, and can be divided into two major markets: memory and logic chips.
