According to industry sources, SK Hynix is discussing plans to establish a dedicated business unit that will cover HBM related design and manufacturing, as well as sales and marketing. Since the first half of this year, discussions regarding the independent business unit of HBM have been ongoing.

HBM has become SK Hynix's largest growth engine and core business. HBM accounted for over 30% of SK Hynix's total DRAM sales in the third quarter, and is expected to reach 40% in the fourth quarter.

The expansion of HBM's workforce through new recruitment and internal organizational restructuring has also increased the possibility of an independent department within HBM. Although the exact number has not been confirmed, it is said that hundreds of people are already working there, and the scale is constantly expanding.
