Micron Technology is pushing forward on its semiconductor manufacturing facility in Clay, Onondaga County, New York, one of the most ambitious chipmaking investments ever attempted on American soil. The project, announced in 2022 with a price tag of up to $100 billion, aims to build a leading-edge DRAM megafab that could eventually house four high-volume manufacturing plants.
What Micron is building in New York
The New York facility is designed specifically for advanced DRAM production, the type of memory chip that serves as the workhorse inside everything from smartphones to data center servers.
The New York megafab is part of a broader US expansion vision that Micron has valued at up to $200 billion across facilities in New York, Idaho, and Virginia.
Groundbreaking activities at the Clay site have already been reported. The project is expected to create as many as 23,000 direct jobs across its New York and Idaho phases.
