According to the press release, Samsung Electric will invest an additional 300 billion won (1.548 billion yuan) to expand the company's FCBGA substrate capacity in Vietnam and Busan and Sejong In South Korea.

Samsung Electric hopes to further consolidate its position as one of the world's top three IC substrate suppliers and plans to mass-produce high-end ABF substrates for server applications within this year, the company said.
