Micron adds $10B memory lab to its Idaho expansion plans

Micron Technology is expanding its memory research capabilities with the construction of a $10 billion lab in Boise, Idaho, as part of its ongoing efforts to bolster the U.S. semiconductor supply chain. The new Micron Research Labs facility, set to break ground in 2027, will focus on cutting-edge memory technologies, advanced compute architectures, and packaging, while fostering collaborations with universities and global partners to develop AI-driven memory systems.

This initiative complements Micron's recent investments, which include a $250 billion commitment to U.S. manufacturing through 2035 and up to $3 billion to strengthen the domestic semiconductor supply chain. The lab will connect with Micron's existing research networks in the U.S., Europe, Japan, India, Singapore, and Taiwan.
