SEOUL/TAIPEI — Samsung Electronics is delaying completion of a semiconductor factory in the U.S. state of Texas, as the South Korean chipmaker struggles to find customers for the plant’s output, sources familiar with the matter told Nikkei Asia.
Samsung has said it will invest more than $37 billion in Texas in the coming years, having been awarded a grant by the Biden administration of up to $4.7 billion in December under the CHIPS and Science Act, which aimed to advance U.S. technology leadership.
