美光出资支持Indium扩建纽约关键矿物精炼产能，换取高纯度材料长期供应协议

Micron Technology ( MU ) plans to invest in an expansion project at Indium Corporation's New York facility in order to increase the domestic processing of critical minerals and the manufacturing of high-purity materials to strengthen the semiconductor supply chain within the U.S. Under the agreement, Micron will provide funding necessary to expand Indium's facility in Rome, N.Y. In return, Indium will provide Micron a long-term supply agreement for high-purity minerals. The deal is part of a larger goal by Micron to spend up to $3B to reduce reliance on the global market for these materials. "Advanced memory manufacturing depends on a reliable supply of critical minerals," said Ben Tessone , senior vice president and chief procurement officer at Micron. "Securing these inputs is essential to Micron's long-term growth and technology roadmap. Partnering with Indium Corporation to restart this capability in its New York facility expands U.S . capacity for critical minerals production and builds a more resilient supply chain for American semiconductor manufacturing and national security." Micron expects to spend more than $250B through 2035 on building out its U.S. fab footprint, which starts, in part, with a domestic materials base. "When I wrote and passed the CHIPS and Science Act into law, delivering Micron's historic investment to New York , I promised the semiconductor supply chain following Micron would bring even more investment and jobs to communities from Rome to Syracuse and all across our state," said U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer. "With today's announced partnership between Micron and Indium Corporation, that is exactly what is happening. By working with homegrown, legacy businesses like Indium Corporation, Micron is creating new demand to expand critical mineral processing here in the U.S ., reducing reliance on foreign sources and delivering a brighter future for new jobs and investment in the Mohawk Valley ."
