🚀 Shaping the Future of Semiconductors in the U.S. Amkor Technology, Inc. has officially broken ground on its new advanced semiconductor packaging and test campus in Arizona! This state-of-the-art facility will be the first U.S.-based high-volume advanced packaging site, supported by key partners such as Apple and NVIDIA, and complementing TSMC’s front-end wafer fabrication to enable a robust, end-to-end semiconductor ecosystem. 📍 Located in Arizona’s high-tech corridor 🏭 750,000+ sq. ft. of cleanroom space 👷♀️ Up to 3,000 high-quality jobs 📅 Production begins in early 2028 Backed by the CHIPS for America Program, the Advanced Manufacturing Investment Tax Credit, and strong support from state and local governments, this milestone marks a bold step in strengthening U.S. hashtag #semiconductor leadership. This groundbreaking milestone marks an exciting step forward in building a resilient U.S. semiconductor supply chain. 👉 Read the full press release to learn more: https://lnkd.in/d9ARNQwy Scott Varga

Micron is embarking on an ambitious U.S. expansion plan worth around $200 billion, aimed at strengthening its position in the global semiconductor market. This vision includes building two state-of-the-art high-volume fabs in Idaho, up to four in New York, and upgrading its existing facility in Virginia. Alongside these developments, Micron is investing in advanced HBM packaging and cutting-edge R&D to help drive innovation and maintain U.S. leadership in technology. These efforts are not just about growth—they’re about meeting the rising demand driven by AI advancements, securing market share, and working toward Micron’s goal of producing 40% of its DRAM domestically. It’s a bold step forward for American manufacturing and innovation. Are you interested in working on a project like this? I’d love to connect and share more details with you—let me know if you’d be open to a quick chat!

Micron’s planned $100 billion semiconductor facility north of Syracuse is expected to generate roughly 40,000 jobs (direct + supplier). As Christine O’Connell More notes, the ripple effects are visible already—from construction and logistics to retail and hospitality. A true economic inflection point for the region.

Arizona Becomes the New Frontier in the U.S. Chip Supply Chain Amkor Technology has begun construction on a massive advanced semiconductor packaging campus in Peoria, Arizona, signaling a pivotal moment in the effort to strengthen the domestic chip supply chain. The project, backed by up to $400 million in CHIPS Act funding, could grow into a $7 billion investment and create more than 3,000 jobs once fully operational by 2028. The facility will handle advanced packaging and testing processes currently dominated by Asian suppliers, giving the United States a critical foothold in one of the most vulnerable stages of semiconductor production. This expansion aligns with the broader goal of reducing reliance on overseas sources and securing a stable flow of chips for automotive, defense, and electronics sectors. The construction of Amkor’s new campus is more than a manufacturing milestone; it represents a structural rebalancing of global semiconductor logistics. By building advanced packaging capacity on U.S. soil, the company is helping to shorten lead times, enhance national resilience, and stimulate regional economic growth. Arizona is quickly emerging as a semiconductor hub, home to major projects by Intel and TSMC, and Amkor’s addition solidifies the state’s position in the high-tech supply chain. This strategic move strengthens innovation and security, ensuring the next generation of chips is not only designed but also packaged and delivered from within the United States. #SemiconductorSupplyChain #CHIPSAct #ManufacturingInnovation #ArizonaTech #USResilience

🌍 Big Tech Is Growing — Not in California, but in Saxony The heart of Europe’s semiconductor industry beats in Dresden. Leaders of Infineon, Globalfoundries, Bosch, ESMC, and X-Fab met in Dresden to present their latest projects and discuss how to secure the region’s technological future. 🔹 Bosch is expanding cleanrooms to 13,000 m² and hiring engineers and technicians. 🔹 Globalfoundries invests €1 billion to boost wafer output to 1.1 million per year by 2027. 🔹 Infineon is completing its fourth fab in Dresden with €5 billion in total investment. 🔹 ESMC (TSMC, Infineon, Bosch, NXP) is rapidly growing and plans to create around 2,000 jobs. 🔹 X-Fab calls for more young engineers to join the industry and turn innovation into reality. Saxony continues to prove that cutting-edge technology, strong collaboration, and long-term vision make Europe competitive in the global semiconductor race. 💭 How can Europe keep this momentum and attract the next generation of chip talent?
