# A Decade, $10 Billion! Micron Tech Boosts U.S. Memory R&D; Boise Campus Construction to Begin in 2027

Micron is further pushing the AI memory competition into the R&D sphere. On August 20, it was reported that **Micron Tech** announced the establishment of Micron Research Labs, **committing $10 billion over the next decade to focus on frontier areas such as memory technology, advanced computing architectures, packaging processes, and semiconductor manufacturing.**

The research laboratory will be located in Boise, Idaho, where Micron’s headquarters is based. Construction of the campus is scheduled to begin in 2027, and upon completion, it will accommodate hundreds of R&D personnel.

This move is a significant step for Micron to further strengthen its domestic R&D capabilities in the United States. Notably, **the $10 billion special investment is independent of the company’s previously announced total commitment of over $250 billion to U.S. manufacturing and R&D, meaning Micron will continue to increase resource allocation to R&D on top of its existing large-scale domestic investments.**

In addition to the core campus in Boise, Micron plans to fund university collaboration projects, establish satellite laboratories globally, and collaborate with industrial and academic partners within its research network. This aims to connect domestic R&D capabilities with global scientific resources, forming an open R&D system.

As demand for memory and computing power continues to grow driven by AI and high-performance computing, Micron is extending its R&D focus to underlying technologies such as memory architecture, advanced computing, packaging, and manufacturing processes. The establishment of this research laboratory also signifies the company’s attempt to consolidate its advantage in next-generation memory and computing technologies through long-term R&D investment.
