Micron completes Tongluo P5 site acquisition in Taiwan

Micron has completed its acquisition of PSMC's P5 site in Tongluo, Miaoli County, Taiwan. The facility adds cleanroom capacity near Micron's Taichung campus and is intended to support more leading-edge DRAM and HBM output for growing Artificial Intelligence-driven demand.

Micron Technology, Inc. has completed the acquisition and assumed ownership of Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation’s 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 acquisition expands Micron’s manufacturing footprint in Taiwan and ties the Tongluo facility directly to its broader regional operations.

The site includes approximately 300,000 square feet of existing 300 mm cleanroom space and will support Micron’s efforts to expand supply of leading-edge DRAM products, including HBM, to meet growing Artificial Intelligence-driven demand. The facility is positioned to strengthen Micron’s ability to serve demand for advanced memory products from a site integrated with its nearby Taichung campus.
