Micron Technology is significantly increasing its investment in the U.S. semiconductor supply chain, raising its planned spending to over $250 billion through 2035. As part of this expansion, the company is providing $500 million in strategic financing to GlobalWafers for its 300 mm raw silicon wafer plant in Sherman, Texas. This financing is coupled with a 10-year supply agreement, ensuring Micron access to the plant's output, which is crucial as Sherman hosts the U.S.'s only facility capable of producing advanced 300 mm wafers.
