🎉 This year marks a significant milestone as we celebrate 30 years of NXP Semiconductors' Chandler Fab serving the semiconductor industry!    NXP is a global leader and trusted partner in automotive, industrial & IoT, mobile and communications infrastructure markets. With four wafer fabrication facilities in the U.S., including two in Chandler, Arizona, NXP has been a cornerstone of technological innovation.    Let's congratulate NXP for three decades of excellence in semiconductor wafer manufacturing in Chandler!    🌟 Supported by the Arizona Commerce Authority and in collaboration with NXP, Arizona State University has secured a $17.5 million investment. This initiative aims to expand Arizona’s capabilities in fan-out, wafer-level packaging R&D and workforce training. Additionally, it will establish a GaN (gallium nitride) manufacturing and research ecosystem to drive future technology advancements accessible to more industry players.    ASU plans to enhance MacroTechnology Works in Tempe with state-of-the-art equipment, focusing on advanced packaging and GaN research pivotal for 6G, IoT, machine learning and beyond. The expansion will foster student opportunities, workforce development through internships, joint university research and next-generation GaN R&D for 6G technology in collaboration with NXP.    🤝 ASU Core Research Facilities look forward to further collaboration with NXP, aiming to advance the semiconductor industry and workforce capabilities.    “This expansion enhances Arizona's semiconductor ecosystem,” said Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs. “These capabilities will provide unique training and R&D opportunities, bolstering our workforce and supporting continued industry growth.”  The expanded capabilities at MacroTechnology Works in Tempe will play a pivotal role in supporting future growth opportunities within Arizona’s semiconductor ecosystem. ASU's expansion aligns with Arizona’s strategic efforts to establish shared semiconductor research and manufacturing facilities, positioning the state for additional federal investments through programs like CHIPS. “The partnership will not only enhance the educational experience of our students, which is our core mission, but also contribute significantly to the success of semiconductor industry leaders and startup companies in Arizona,” said Sally C. Morton Morton, executive vice president of ASU Knowledge Enterprise. “Packaging represents the final frontier in the manufacturing process, offering immense potential for innovation as we strive to enhance the capacity and speed of semiconductor chips.”   #ASUCores #ASUResarch #ASUInnovation #NXP #Semiconductors #ChandlerAZ #ArizonaCommerce #ASU #MacroTechnologyWorks #GaN #6G #IoT #MachineLearning #TechInnovation #ASU #SemiconductorIndustry #ArizonaInnovation #CHIPSProgram #SemiconductorResearch #Semiconductor #Microelectronics #AdvancedPackaging
