Micron - Let’s try this again

[Cusefan0307]

An announcement for how much federal funding Micron gets is imminent. It will likely be the highest funded plant from the Chips Act.

Where Micron stands: Release of delayed federal money could unleash Clay project

Awards from the CHIPS and Science Act are expected by the end of March.

Build it and they will come.

We talking about a house of ill repute?

Guessing when this happens, it will kick off a new run on real estate and development.

Should be interesting to see what happens.

Ill be shocked if micron gets more that 1 fab up in clay

its a national defense issue. Don't know how many fabs get built, but Micron said it would be a 10? year window. But unless there is some new technology to replace semiconductor chips, it's gonna happen

Excellent opportunity for Oswego to fill a niche for Micron, Wolfspeed and Global Foundries. I hope they see that and find out what the companies need.

It's a 20 year window. It will be 8-10 to get the first two up and running.

No doubt that a close relationship is important to make this work.

Syracuse has committed to expanding their engineering school as noted above to meet demand.

I know they did with Novelis (formerly Alcan) in Oswego County.

Just as a point of information, every potential chip plant project (nationwide) is tied to at least one local higher education institution. I have been in meetings regarding the Micron project and I've found the level of detail to be amazing. For example, as part of their long term plan, designers/planners are collaborating with local nursing schools to expand their programs so that the supply of nurses keeps up with forecasted demands.

Build it and they will come.

There are about 20 engineering schools in Upstate NY. It shouldn't be a problem.

But, will they go the distance?

 

[dollarbill44]

I have heard job training/qualified workers is still a major hurdle (for working in the plant, not the build)

It's all going to be robots by then anyway.

 

[FrancoPizza]

But we’ll need engineers to build and manage the robots

This

They need faculty with real world experience in the semi-conductor industry...not just academic wonks with theoretical knowledge.

This is where hiring lots of adjunct faculty from CA, ID, The Northeast and from Taiwan and the Netherlands helps.

I'm sorry Dave. That's just not true.

My alma mater, RIT, has an awesome Microelectronic Enginnering program (semiconductor design and fab). You are also required to do several co-op semesters where you alternate semesters of going to class with interning at a company like Micron. They have to be estatic about Micron coming.

They already had a relationship with Micron and it is being expanded.

I think they might benefit the most of all the schools in upstate NY with this development. As you say, it is right up their alley.

Point Place Casino expanding. Surely some of those Micron folks like to gamble.

Well, when they break ground on the first fabricator plant, then Micron can come up with money to help these universities draw professors from the Bay Area or from Texas. Lots of chip companies were born in both places.
