SEOUL (Reuters) - SK Hynix Inc, the world s second-largest memory chip maker, has requestd talks to acquire South Korea-based Key Foundry, a chip contract manufacturer, a South Korean newspaper reported on Monday.
SK Hynix has expressed intention to negotiate for the full acquisition of the 8-inch wafer foundry, Korea Economic Daily reported on Monday citing unnamed sources in the tech and investment banking industries.
SK Hynix said that it is considering various measures to expand its foundry business, but nothing has been finalised. A spokesperson for Key Foundry could not be immediately reached.
SK Hynix is already a minority investor in Key Foundry, having infused about 207 billion won ($181.93 million) into a private equity fund last year that owns the chip contract manufacturing firm, and now is interested in buying out the rest, Korea Economic Daily said.

In a sketch spoofing “The Muppets” on “Saturday Night Live’s” penultimate episode of Season 46, a couple of the actual classic puppets made appearances.
Kermit the Frog kicked things off, of course, as the host of “The Muppet Show,” but Statler and Waldorf were along for the ride as well, always ready to provide a heckle, such as replying to Kermit calling Melissa Villaseñor’s Lily Tomlin “a show stopper” by saying, “I’d do anything for this show to stop.” However, in today’s climate, not every heckle was the perfect one.

HOUMA, La. (AP) Corey Duplechin and son Alden Duplechin achieved their goals together this week.
The Houma duo walked across the stage Wednesday night for the Bayou Cane Adult Education Center’s graduation ceremony.
Corey Duplechin said he was supposed to graduate in 1990, but that’s when Terrebonne Parish’s public school teachers went on strike for 41 school days. Amid the disruption, Corey dropped out and went to work.
His son, Alden, wasn’t fitting in with traditional education, and his school shut down and went to online instruction at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic just over a year ago.
