Micron Technology has announced a major investment of $40 billion for the chip manufacturing in the United States, which will create up to 40,000 jobs, will strengthen the national security and will strengthen the resistance of the supply chain.
The company announced today its plans to manufacture cutting-edge, multi-stage memory chips in the US. With the grants and advance credits made possible by the CHIPS Act and Science, this investment will enable the world’s most advanced memory card manufacturing.
In addition, this will enrich nearby communities by strengthening education, workforce training, transportation and other services.
The national state-of-the-art manufacturing capabilities of Micron will ensure national security of the United States and the supply chain resilienceas demand for memory chips grows in critical market segments such as automotive and data centers, further driven by accelerating adoption of artificial intelligence and 5G.
