Analog Devices (ADI) will reportedly make a major investment in its existing semiconductor fab in Beaverton, Oregon.
Built in 1978, the Oregon facility is ADI's highest volume wafer fabrication facility, serving customers in key industries such as industrial, automotive, communications, consumer, and healthcare. Now, it's about to get even bigger.
ADI has committed nearly $1 billion to expand the facility's clean room space to about 118,000 square feet and nearly double the amount of in-house manufacturing for products running on the 180-nanometer technology node. It should create hundreds of new jobs.
"By expanding the ADI Beaverton facility, we are increasing capacity in key industries, boosting domestic manufacturing in line with the vision of the Chip Act, and enhancing the global resiliency of ADI's hybrid manufacturing model," said Vincent Roche, ADI's CEO and chairman. "While our investment in Beaverton will facilitate these goals, they will be achieved through the incredible dedication and talent of ADI's current workforce and by further utilizing the strong talent pool in Oregon."
The expanded Beaverton facility will also house the ADI Semiconductor Advanced Manufacturing University (SAMU), which will offer an eight-week semiconductor equipment maintenance program for groups of approximately 25 students each.
