Samsung Electronics has written a $9.2 billion to boost capacity at its new South Korean chip plant.
This represents a 64 percent increase over announced investment plans and is its biggest ever commitment to a single production facility.
It is being seen as a move to make semiconductors to offset slowing smartphone earnings.
The plant is scheduled to begin production in 2017 and will make DRAM memory chips and some mobile processors.
A Samsung spokeswoman said the firm has not decided on any additional investments or what products the new plant would make.
