Massive cleanrooms for SUNY College Nanocentre
Partnership is designed to accelerate the attraction of next-generation 450mm computer chip manufacturing
In New York, the SUNY College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) and the Mohawk Valley Regional Economic Development Council (EDGE) have announced an expanded partnership through which CNSE will lead the development of the Marcy Nanocenter site by serving as the chip research site’s end user.
The EDGE-SUNY CNSE partnership is designed to accelerate the attraction of next-generation 450mm computer chip manufacturing to the Mohawk Valley by deploying a public-private partnership model first introduced with the CNSE Global 450mm Consortium (G450C).
The deal will see the construction on the Marcy site of a facility that will include up to 8.25 million ft2 of facilities, with up to three 450mm computer chip fabs, each with a cleanroom of approximately 450,000ft2. The project involves a total public and private investment of US$10–15bn for each phase of development and it is expected to create approximately 5,000 direct jobs and approximately 15,000 indirect jobs.
