Micron Technology, Inc., a global leader in memory and storage solutions, has announced an ambitious expansion of its U.S. investments, committing approximately $150 billion toward domestic memory manufacturing and $50 billion toward research and development (R&D). This comprehensive investment strategy is expected to generate an estimated 90,000 direct and indirect jobs across the country, strengthening the U.S. semiconductor ecosystem and reinforcing national technology leadership.
As part of this expanded commitment, Micron will invest an additional $30 billion beyond its previously announced plans, targeting strategic areas that will shape the future of memory and AI-driven technologies. Key elements of the new investment package include:
-
Construction of a second state-of-the-art memory fabrication plant in Boise, Idaho, co-located with the company’s R&D center to foster seamless innovation and commercialization of advanced memory technologies.
-
Expansion and modernization of its existing manufacturing facility in Manassas, Virginia, which will boost production capabilities and support evolving customer needs across multiple sectors.
-
Introduction of advanced packaging capabilities within the U.S., a critical move to support the growing demand for High Bandwidth Memory (HBM)—a technology foundational to artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and data-intensive computing workloads.
Micron’s $50 billion R&D investment underscores the company’s commitment to maintaining its global leadership in memory technology innovation. This will support the development of next-generation DRAM, NAND, and packaging technologies, as well as accelerate breakthroughs that fuel AI, edge computing, automotive, and cloud applications.
These developments build on Micron’s previously announced plans to construct a megafab in Clay, New York, which represents one of the largest semiconductor fabrication projects in U.S. history. The megafab is expected to play a pivotal role in scaling domestic semiconductor output, reduce reliance on foreign supply chains, and support long-term U.S. economic competitiveness.
With these expanded efforts, Micron is not only reinforcing its role as a cornerstone of the U.S. semiconductor industry but also contributing to the broader national objective of technological self-reliance and leadership in the global digital economy.
