SEMI today applauded the U.S. Department of Commerce's announcement of a Preliminary Memorandum of Terms for an award under the CHIPS and Science Act to support Micron Technology’s construction of two leading-edge Dynamic Random-Access Memory fabs in New York and a DRAM fab in Idaho. SEMI was honored to attend a ceremony today in Syracuse, New York to commemorate the announcement and hear from U.S. President Joe Biden, Micron President and CEO Sanjay Mehrotra and other dignitaries on the significance of the investment. The award includes $6.14 billion in grants and an investment tax credit to advance Micron’s two-decade vision to invest approximately $100 billion in New York and $25 billion in Idaho, with the projects expected to create more than 11,000 manufacturing and facility jobs and 9,000 construction jobs. “SEMI commends the U.S. Department of Commerce for this key step to strengthen the domestic semiconductor supply chain,” said Joe Stockunas, President of SEMI Americas. “Investing in the manufacturing of leading-edge memory chips is crucial to pair with the announcements supporting fabs for advanced processors, providing the building blocks for the proliferation of artificial intelligence and all high-tech applications that the global economy and people around the world depend on. The proposed CHIPS and Science Act investment combined with Micron’s commitment to invest more than $50 billion dollars to develop two New York DRAM fabs and a third in Idaho over the next six years will help to fuel the expansion of the broader semiconductor ecosystem in each state.” 👉 https://bit.ly/44iNX6w #CHIPSAct #publicpolicy #semiconductors #manufacturing

Today, Earth Day 2024, our SEMI Forest exceeded 10,000 trees planted, thanks to contributions from SEMI, ASML, Advantest, NXP Semiconductors and Wojciech (Wojtek) Osowiecki to honor the attendees at our Earth Month event on 4/19. (if you missed it, check out the recording at https://lnkd.in/gzG7kKDn) Why trees in addition to all of our other activities? Healthy trees sequester CO2, making them climate champions from the moment they’re planted. They also help to restore healthy ecosystems, sequestering and storing even more carbon in soils and plant biomass, as well as boosting biodiversity. Reforestation projects provide co-benefits for local people which can promote employment, gender equality, new income streams, more diverse food sources to support a healthier diet, and improved community facilities. Done responsibly, this means supporting community-led projects where ecologically appropriate species are planted at the right place and time, and where trees are guarded from natural and man-made threats. Importantly, while trees are a wonderful climate solution, the carbon absorbed by our trees is not taken into account as carbon avoidance.
