✅ USA - Latest Developments

➠ New domestic 300 mm wafer capacity (big supply-chain move).
Taiwan's GlobalWafers opened its new 300 mm facility in Sherman, Texas (first large U.S. advanced 300 mm wafer plant in years) and is expanding U.S. wafer supply that includes capacity for SOI wafers - a key step for U.S. SOI supply chains in 2025.

➠ Soitec silicon-photonics / SOI for datacenter connectivity (product/tech announcements).
Soitec announced 2025 silicon-photonics SOI product/technology contributions to accelerate integrated optical connectivity solutions for AI datacenters (public press release / GlobNewswire). This is a technology launch/positioning item: Soitec pushing SOI-based silicon-photonics building blocks for cloud/AI infra.

➠ Soitec → partnerships and supply moves affecting U.S. customers / wafer supply.
Soitec announced collaborations (e.g., Transistor Layer Transfer (TLT) readiness with foundries such as PSMC) and is highlighting US-relevant activity (R&D and supply relationships) in 2025 - these partnerships support advanced SOI/FD-SOI ecosystem used by companies serving US datacenters and edge markets.

✅ Japan - Latest Developments

➠ Resonac (ex-Hitachi Chemical / Showa Denko lineage) aiming for deals - M&A intent in 2025.

Reuters (Feb 2025) reported Resonac's CEO saying the company is looking to pursue acquisitions after restructuring and wants to be involved in exits of state-backed deals (context: materials & chip-materials consolidation). This is relevant because Japan's materials suppliers (Shin-Etsu, JSR, Resonac) are key upstream players for SOI wafer/related materials.

➠ Shin-Etsu continuing/confirming SOI wafer production & product activity (ongoing supply).

Shin-Etsu's corporate pages and 2025 news confirm continued SOI wafer product lines and ongoing production of 300 mm and SOI wafers; no large SOI M&A was announced in 2025 on Shin-Etsu's public pages - Japan activity is more consolidation interest among materials firms than outright SOI plant M&A.

✅ South Korea - Latest Developments

➠ Samsung Foundry active on FD-SOI nodes / process product activity (2025 tech & production updates).

Samsung has been promoting and running FD-SOI process variants (e.g., 28FDS, 18nm/18FDS and related FD-SOI offerings) and in 2025 continued activity around FD-SOI process qualification and partner tool qualification - i.e., Samsung is positioning/rolling out FD-SOI process nodes and design ecosystem support in 2025. This counts as product/process launches and ecosystem ramp activity.

➠ SK hynix / memory launches (adjacent semiconductor product launches in 2025).

SK hynix's 2025 product launches (not SOI wafers themselves, but major memory product releases such as HBM generations shown at FMS/CES) are relevant because rising AI/memory demand increases overall wafer/substrate demand (indirectly supporting SOI demand where used). No headline SOI-supplier M&A in Korea was reported in 2025.
