Micron Details Boise Lab, Albany EUV Center funding split

Micron announced Micron Research Labs, a U.S.-based long-horizon memory and AI research hub anchored in Boise with a $10 billion, 10-year investment to accelerate memory technologies, advanced compute architectures, packaging and future semiconductor manufacturing. The initiative will feature a flagship Boise campus for hundreds of researchers, with construction anticipated to start in 2027, and will fund extensive university collaborations and global satellite labs to create a connected research network focused on AI-era technologies. Separately, Micron participates in a public-private partnership to build North America’s first publicly owned High-NA EUV lithography center in Albany, New York, funded with roughly $1 billion from the state and $9 billion from private investors, hosting ASML’s High-NA tool and partners IBM, Applied Materials and Tokyo Electron, creating hundreds to thousands of jobs. Together with more than $250 billion already committed to U.S. manufacturing and R&D, Micron underscored its belief that America will lead the AI-driven memory era. The Albany project aligns with broader national aims to strengthen domestic chipmaking and advanced manufacturing capabilities.
