According to Reuters, SK hynix has received funding offers from major tech companies to expand production lines for AI memory chips. The proposals include upfront payments of 10% to 30% of total contract value and financing for manufacturing equipment such as ASML extreme ultraviolet lithography machines. The multi-year supply contracts, typically spanning three to five years, also include price floor clauses setting minimum prices for the contract term. However, SK hynix remains cautious about deals that could tie it to specific buyers or force lower chip prices, as the company has no spare capacity to allocate to any single customer.
