In time with the release of its vice chairman from jail,... Samsung Electronics is looking to put its foot down on the gas... investment-wise.
The Korean tech giant is pushing to build a second chip-production line in Pyeongtaek,... as it anticipates rising demand for semiconductors,... after a year of positive earnings thanks -- in large part -- to its record-breaking chip business.
Though no specific size or timing of investment has been decided yet,... the matter could be brought up at a meeting scheduled for today.
Samsung started mass production at its new semiconductor fabrication line in Pyeongtaek last July,... and was initially focused on producing the company's fourth-generation V-NAND chips.
