Micron Technology announces $10 billion research investment in Boise
Micron Technology has announced a $10 billion investment over the next decade to establish Micron Research Labs, a new semiconductor research institution headquartered in Boise, Idaho. The facility is expected to begin construction in 2027 and will focus on advancing memory technologies, compute architectures, semiconductor packaging, and next-generation manufacturing. The lab aims to foster a collaborative ecosystem by bringing together academia, government, industry partners, and customers to drive breakthroughs for the AI era.
The initiative is part of a broader commitment by Micron to invest over $250 billion in U.S. manufacturing and R&D through 2035. The research hub will be integrated into Micron’s existing global technology footprint, which includes networks in the U.S., Europe, Japan, India, Singapore, and Taiwan.
This strategic move comes amid a period of record financial performance for the company. Micron reported record third-quarter fiscal 2026 revenues of $41.46 billion, driven by surging demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) and data center storage required for artificial intelligence workloads. The company is currently shipping HBM4 at high volumes and anticipates HBM4E production to begin in 2027.
