IBM and New York leaders announce a new commitment at the Albany NY CREATES location to support a $125 million packaging facility – the Computer Chip Hybrid Integration Partnership (CHIP). The new program will advance innovation, education and commercialization of computer chips in upstate New York. The Albany research center will partner with companies such as IBM and SEMATECH to develop “system on a chip” (SOC) technologies.
NYS and industry leaders announce major commitment at NY CREATES Albany Headquarters that Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has committed to building state of the art chip fabrication plant in nearby Malta, at the Luther Forest Technology Campus. With NYS investment of more than $1.2 billion, AMD agrees to invest $2 billion and create 2,000 jobs at the site.
At the announcement, industry leaders tout New York’s ongoing investment in the people, programs, research, and facilities at what is now NY CREATES as the major driver of the investment. AMD spun off their manufacturing shortly after this announcement to create GLOBALFOUNDRIES. The chip fab investment driven by this initiative has resulted in more than $20 billion in direct investment in New York by GLOBALFOUNDRIES. The company currently employs more than 3200 at their site in Malta and recently celebrated their 10th anniversary of operations.
Leading companies in the semiconductor industry will participate in this multi-phase, joint R&D cooperative program on future computer chip technology nodes beginning with the 32nm computer chip device node includes major industry partners such as IBM, Advanced Micro Devices, SONY, Toshiba, Tokyo Electron, and Applied Materials.
With investments from NYS, AMD, IBM, Micron and Infineon, the $600 million International Venture for Nanolithography (INVENT) is created at the Albany headquarters of NY CREATES. This international collaboration featured NYS investments of $180 million and industry invest of more than $420 million to develop the industry’s next major breakthrough in nanolithography.
With a major investment by New York State and industry partners, International SEMATECH announces it will establish its next generation 300mm computer chip research and development program at the Center of Excellence in Nanoelectronics at the Albany site. This investment includes $400 million in State and Industry support over five years, consisting of $210 million from the State and $193 million from International SEMATECH and its member companies, including IBM. This collaborative investment by the State and industry set the stage for later relocation from Austin to Albany.
NYS Leadership announces major investment in new supply chain and equipment development with an investment by Tokyo Electron in the new Tokyo Electron Technology Center Americas at the Albany headquarters of NY CREATES. This $600 million investment transforms the facilities and programs in Albany with a renewed focus on the equipment industry, supply chain interconnectivity, and technology excellence in metrology and product development.
NYS Leaders formally commit to the Albany site that is now headquarters of NY CREATES as the Center of Excellence in Nanoelectronics and Nanotechnology (CENN) a fully-integrated technology deployment, product prototyping, manufacturing support, and workforce training resource for emerging generations of integrated circuitry (IC).
The Center for Advanced Interconnect Science and Technology (CAIST) at the Albany site that is now headquarters of NY CREATES. This $50 million program launched the Focus Center New York, with partners at University of Albany, RPI, Georgia Tech, Stanford and MIT.
Leveraging a $10 million investment. This is the first major New York State investment in the Albany site and would enable further investment, as the program merges with the CAT in Nanomaterials and Nanoelectronics.
