Advanced packaging and test for HBM. SK hynix states that wafers made in Korea are shipped here for packaging and testing, so no wafers are fabricated on this site. Groundbreaking 27 August 2026 local time, cleanroom targeted for October 2028, mass production of next-generation HBM in the second half of 2029. INVESTMENT IS REPORTED TWO WAYS and this record carries the later figure: "over $4 billion" at the groundbreaking, against $3.87 billion in reporting from earlier in August 2026. An Advanced Packaging R&D Testbed is announced alongside the production lines. This is NOT the SkyWater West Lafayette project, which is a separate paused site in the same town, recorded here as skywater-indiana-westlafayette.
