About the new R&D Facility at Boise
The new facility is poised to become the Company's Advanced Research Center since it is located near the Company's existing R&D facilities, the heart of Micron's global network of innovation. The area is set to become the Company's global technology development center. Boise will become an important R&D location which would lead the Company's foray in development of next-generation of technologies viz., future DRAM, 3D XPoint™ and 3D NAND. The new facility will focus on the development of new semiconductor-manufacturing processes and designs for these new memory and storage technologies. The new R&D facility once fully operational will become Micron's largest new memory and storage development facility in the Western Hemisphere.
The new facility was specifically created to expand the Company's pristine, precision-controlled environment for development and fabrication of advanced memory integrated circuits. These circuits are backed up by Micron's technical expertise and innovation capabilities developed over several years.
The expansion of the R&D facilities would allow the Company to accelerate the development of future generations of DRAM, NAND and emerging memory technologies. The memory and storage technologies developed at this location will be then adapted to production scale manufacturing. Once ready for production-scale manufacturing, these new technologies would be used across the Company's network of 12 global large-scale manufacturing plants.
The construction of the approximately $200 million facility started in October 2015 and was completed in July 2017. It is a 100,000-square-foot building which connects to Micron's existing R&D buildings. The construction of the building required 24,000 cubic yards of concrete just for laying the foundation. Approximately ten million pounds of steel and 240 miles of wires were used in the construction of the new building.
Boise – The Company's innovation centre
Scott DeBoer, Executive Vice President, Technology Development of Micron shared that the existing R&D facilities at Boise has developed the Micron's leading-edge DRAM technology (1Ynm). This technology has already been adapted for large-scale production and has been implemented at the Company's production unit at Hiroshima, Japan. Scott also shared that the R&D team at Boise facility has successfully completed the development process for 64-layer 3D NAND in the last one year. This technology has been now adapted at for volume production at the Company's Singapore based manufacturing unit.
