$15 billion Idaho facility is the first step as chip biz feeds on CHIPS ActUS memory vendor Micron will spend $15 billion over the next decade to construct what it claims is the first memory fab built by a US manufacturer in America in the last 20 years.
The memory manufacturing hub is to be built alongside Microns research and development facility at its Boise, Idaho headquarters. It will be the first of several investments planned in the wake of the US CHIPs and Science Act passage earlier this summer.
When complete, Micron says the fab will create roughly 17,000 new jobs, including 2,000 full-time positions working at the facility.
Our new leading-edge memory manufacturing fab will fuel US technology leadership, ensuring a reliable domestic supply of semiconductors that is critical to economic and national security, Micron President and CEO Sanjay Mehrotra said in a statement.

(395 posts)1. Thx to Biden and Dems for passing CHIPS
Many Republicans voted against this important bill that will create 17000 high tech jobs here in the U.S.
Republicans prefer to reward those who ship those jobs to China and the end rest of Asia.
I was a part of the opening of White Oak Semiconductor facility built in 1997 as a Jv between Motorola and Siemens. That was one of the last big semiconductor memory facilities in the US.

and are now expressing "enthusiastic support" for the Boise Micron expansion. Is anyone surprised by this?
