Micron Plans Over $250 Billion U.S. Investment to Expand Semiconductor Manufacturing by 2035
Micron Technology announced plans to invest over $250 billion in the U.S. through 2035, increasing its previous $200 billion commitment. This expansion aims to meet rising demand for memory chips driven by the AI boom and supports efforts to strengthen domestic semiconductor manufacturing. Key projects include a semiconductor campus in New York and expansions in Idaho and Virginia, expected to create over 90,000 jobs. Micron also committed $3 billion to enhance the U.S. chip supply chain, including a 10-year supply deal with GlobalWafers for silicon wafers.
