Memory and storage specialist Micron has announced that it will bring “state-of-the-art memory manufacturing” to the United States. The move isn’t a big surprise, as the company’s CEO, Sanjay Mehrotra, telegraphed his intention to make the investment earlier this month. .. At the time, Mehrotra argued that Micron’s decision depended on the passage of the Chips and Science Act. In a bipartisan vote on Thursday, the US Senate passed a $ 76 billion legislation on US chip manufacturing subsidies.
among them press release For the newly embodied U.S. manufacturing program, Micron thanked the government for passing funding legislation and said it was an important initiative to thrive advanced semiconductor manufacturing in the U.S. over the years to come. I agreed with the supporters of the law. “The law will bring state-of-the-art semiconductor manufacturing to the United States, creating tens of thousands of jobs and tens of billions of dollars in new investment,” said Micron. But that doesn’t mean that all these jobs and investments come from Micron’s expansion. Remember that Intel is another US company enthusiastic about getting some of this money.
Moving on to Micron’s unique business implications, according to the company, currently only 2% of the world’s memory supply comes from US semiconductor manufacturers, all from Micron. In addition, US domestic memory production has promised to grow “significantly” over the next few years, thanks to the passage of chips and scientific law. He added that these investments are important to both the economy and national security. Unfortunately, no specific investment goals or locations were discussed, but the company said it would share some plans “in the coming weeks.”
For some possible insights into Micron’s US investment plans, CNBC Recently, Micron’s unconfirmed reports of considering building a new advanced chip fab in Boise, Idaho have been highlighted.

Enterprises weigh the benefits of both federal and state support and location.
Micron recently announced the first introduction of a 232-layer TLC NAND chip package to the market. However, according to Micron, these NAND chips aren’t just about capacity, as they claim that the new 6-plane architecture will provide up to 100% better performance than previous generations.
