Syracuse, N.Y. -- The $10 billion expansion of a semiconductor research center in Albany could boost Micron Technology’s ability to manufacture faster computer chips in its planned complex in the town of Clay.
The centerpiece of the 50,000-square foot research center addition in Albany will be the most advanced chip-making machine in the world, one that will let semiconductor manufacturers experiment with new ways to cram more minute transistors onto the memory chips essential to modern technology. The Albany NanoTech Complex will be just the second location in the world to get the new machines, called High NA extreme ultraviolet lithography tools.
