The Idaho Statesman, 02-17-2011 Written by Sandra Forester The global chip maker is growing its research and development capacity and its 300 mm operations in Boise. Boise, ID: Construction crews are blasting rock and dirt at the site of Micron’s Fab 4 expansion to make way for space below the fab and a basement, according to a company article. The blasting several feet underground should continue through the first week of March. About 100,000 cubic yards of soil and rock, equivalent to a 6-foot-by-6-foot hole more than 14 miles deep, will be removed. The new building will have 25,000 square feet of cleanroom space for 12-inch (300 mm) silicon wafers on which Micron fabricates its chips, and 25,000 square feet for future expansion. The project is expected to be completed in 2012, depending on market conditions.
