“NY Creates is honored to be included in the first CHIPS R&D award under the Trump
Administration. For more than twenty years, sustained investment by industry and New
York State in advanced lithography and adjacent technologies has positioned the Albany
NanoTech Complex as the nation’s premier site for semiconductor research and
development. This news is a validation of these consistent efforts. This type of bold
R&D venture centered around EUV lithography, which is critical to the industry for
advancing next-generation chip manufacturing, must be proven in an ecosystem built
for complex, collaborative innovation. We look forward to working with xLight and
federal partners to understand the full technical and infrastructure needs of the
proposed program as we continue the work that keeps New York and the U.S. at the
forefront of semiconductor innovation.”
