Micron (Virginia)
Key Facts
Project Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce has awarded Micron Virginia Semiconductor Manufacturing LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Micron Technology Inc. (“Micron”) direct funding under the CHIPS and Science Act. This funding will enable Micron to expand and modernize its existing chip fabrication facility in Manassas, Virginia to onshore Micron’s 1-alpha DRAM technology. This project will greatly improve supply chain resiliency for automotive and industrial markets, as well as secure capacity of critical legacy memory for aerospace and defense.
Economic and National Security Impact
This investment will help strengthen U.S. economic and national security by bolstering a reliable domestic supply of 1-alpha DRAM chips that are important components for critical technologies such as automotive, personal computing, and aerospace and defense. This project will onshore 1-alpha DRAM technology, which is currently manufactured solely in Asia and create a design center of excellence for aerospace & defense. In addition, Micron’s planned modernization will enable lasting production of legacy memory technology for critical aerospace and defense applications, including NOR, NAND, and DRAM chips.
Micron is widely recognized as a global leader in legacy memory technology and production. By supporting Micron’s U.S. manufacturing plans, the Department is onshoring the development and production of legacy memory semiconductor technology which is crucial to protecting our economic and national security.
