Micron has signed a letter of intent to acquire Powerchip Semiconductor's P5 fabrication site in Taiwan for $1.8 billion in cash.

The deal includes an existing 300,000-square-foot cleanroom and is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026, pending regulatory approvals.

The acquisition will enable Micron to ramp up DRAM production in phases, with meaningful wafer output expected to begin in the second half of 2027.

Research firm TrendForce notes that this move will expand Micron's advanced-process DRAM capacity and could lead to an upward revision in global DRAM supply projections for 2027.
