Micron's Remarkable Rise: Overcoming China Ban and Smartphone Slump to Build the Largest Chip Fab in U.S. History

Micron, the only memory chip manufacturer in the U.S., is facing challenges due to China's ban on U.S. technologies and a slump in smartphone sales. However, the company is investing $15 billion to build the biggest chip fabrication plant in U.S. history in Boise, Idaho, and plans to increase the U.S. share of dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) production from 2% to 15% by 2026. Micron is also investing $100 billion over 20 years to build four fabs in upstate New York. The company aims to diversify its base and reduce reliance on China while benefiting from government incentives and the CHIPS and Science Act.

Intel's Ambitious Plan to Dominate Chip Industry with 1.8nm Technology

Intel plans to surpass Samsung Foundry and TSMC by 2025 with its 1.8nm semiconductor chips. After struggling with 14nm and 10nm nodes, Intel aims to refocus on improving its processes and is on track to start fabricating 18A chips by 2025. The company is already using its Intel 7 and Intel 4 processes for current chips and plans to introduce Intel 20A and Intel 18A processes in the coming years. However, it remains to be seen if Intel's claims will hold true, as Samsung Foundry and TSMC are also developing their own advanced chip fabrication processes.
