What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Micron Technology is investing in the expansion of Indium Corporation’s refining and manufacturing operations in Rome, New York, to restart US processing of critical minerals for semiconductor manufacturing. In return, Micron receives a long-term supply agreement for high-purity materials. This investment is part of Micron’s plan to spend up to $3 billion strengthening the US semiconductor supply chain.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The move aims to reduce the industry's dependence on global refining capacity that is concentrated in a few locations. The materials will be produced in the same state as Micron’s planned fab complex near Syracuse. Micron has also increased its expected US investment in fabs and technology to over $250 billion through 2035.

Micron is currently building a campus in central New York, which involves receiving political support from state officials.
