Samsung is about to become a foundry giant. Over the next six years, the company will spend $33 billion in capital equipment to build six new 300mm fabs. The company already has one in the works, bringing the total to seven.

“We see foundries as the next growth engine,” Ana Hunter, VP of technology for Samsung’s System LSI Division, said. “We will begin offering strategic foundry services starting with 90 nanometers..

Samsung will leverage its joint development project with IBM and Chartered Semiconductor, all of which have collaborated to create a common platform. That also allows Chartered and IBM to act as second sources for Samsung, and vice versa. All have exactly the same processes running internally.
