原英文标题： <Microchip Plans to Invest $880 Million to Expand its Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Silicon (Si) Capacity in Colorado>
Ramping up production at its Colorado Springs fabrication campus will enable Microchip to respond to growing semiconductor demand across a wide swath of industries
在科罗拉多斯普林斯生产基地扩大生产规模将使Microchip能够应对各行各业不断增长的半导体需求
CHANDLER, Ariz., February 17, 2023 — Microchip Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: MCHP) a leading provider of smart, connected and secure embedded control solutions, today announces plans to invest $880M to expand its silicon carbide (SiC) and silicon (Si) production capacity at its Colorado Springs, Colo. manufacturing facility over the next several years.
One significant phase of the expansion is to develop and upgrade its 50-acre, 580,000-square-foot Colorado Springs campus for increased SiC manufacturing for use in automotive/E-Mobility, grid infrastructure, green energy, and aerospace and defense applications.
Working in conjunction with the Colorado Springs Chamber & Economic Development Corporation, the City of Colorado Springs and El Paso County also announce that Microchip was approved for state and local incentives of approximately $47M for the expansion.
Colorado Springs Mayor John Suthers said, “We are very pleased Microchip has selected its Colorado Springs facility as the site for such a significant investment and expansion. We estimate this will grow our local economy by approximately $1.4 billion over the next 10 years and create roughly 400 new high-paying jobs for those living in the Pikes Peak Region. Ramping up the production of semiconductors is critical to satisfying growing demand across many industries, and Colorado Springs is proud to be one of the key locations where this effort is taking place.”
U.S. Senator for Colorado Michael Bennet said, “Last year, I helped pass the CHIPS and Science Act to reinvigorate America’s semiconductor industry and bring manufacturing jobs back to America. In Colorado, we’re already seeing the benefits as companies prepare for historic investments from the law. Microchip’s planned expansion in Colorado Springs will not only strengthen our national security, but also expand opportunity with another 400 good-paying jobs.”
U.S. Senator for Colorado John Hickenlooper said, “Thanks to our CHIPS Act and Microchip, we’re bringing manufacturing back to America. Semiconductors are the space race of our time, and Colorado is going to help us win it.”
U.S. Congressman Doug Lamborn said, “It is exciting to have Microchip Technology expanding its footprint and investing in its chip manufacturing facility in Colorado’s 5th Congressional District. As concerns mount over foreign dominance of this critical industry, it is increasingly important that the U.S. achieve domestic production of microchips. I commend the City of Colorado Springs and the Colorado Springs Chamber for their dedication to bringing high-paying, high-quality jobs, and great companies to the Pikes Peak region."
President and CEO of Microchip Technology Ganesh Moorthy said, “Microchip Colorado Springs has a long history of partnering with the city and state and we applaud their continued support of our efforts to advance the semiconductor industry in the U.S. The CHIPS and Science Act is already making a positive impact on our business through the Investment Tax Credit and we are seeking capacity expansion grants for several of our semiconductor factories, including our Colorado Springs factory. We see a bright future in the region made possible by great partnerships, state and local incentives, and a strong local talented workforce.”
The Colorado Springs campus currently employs more than 850 people and produces products from 6-inch wafers. The manufacturing technology that Microchip is installing will run on 8-inch wafers, which will significantly increase the number of chips produced at this location. The additional 400 jobs anticipated at the facility will range from production specialists to technical roles in equipment procurement and management, process control and test engineering.
“With over two-decades of investment in silicon carbide, Microchip’s portfolio is designed to provide our customers with innovative power solutions,” said Rich Simoncic, senior vice president of Microchip’s Analog businesses. “This campus is an integral part of producing our SiC technology to assure our customers with supply certainty as they transition to SiC solutions.”
“Microchip’s expansion in Colorado Springs and El Paso County puts our region on the map for investment from the CHIPS and Science Act. We are proud to lead Microchip’s expansion project and support the reshoring of these important manufacturing jobs to the Pikes Peak region,” said Johnna Reeder Kleymeyer, President and CEO, Colorado Springs Chamber & Economic Development Corporation.
2023年2月17日，亚利桑那州钱德勒市--智能、互联和安全嵌入式控制解决方案的领先供应商Microchip Technology Inc.（纳斯达克股票代码：MCHP）今天宣布，计划投资8.8亿美元，在未来几年内扩大其科罗拉多斯普林斯生产基地的碳化硅（SiC）和硅（Si）产能。
扩张的一个重要阶段是开发和升级其占地50英亩、面积达58万平方英尺的科罗拉多斯普林斯园区，以增加碳化硅的生产，用于汽车/电动汽车、电网基础设施、绿色能源以及航空航天和国防应用。
科罗拉多斯普林斯市和埃尔帕索县与科罗拉多斯普林斯商会和经济发展公司合作，还宣布Microchip获准为扩建项目提供约4700万美元的州和地方奖励。
科罗拉多斯普林斯市市长John Suthers说："我们非常高兴Microchip选择科罗拉多斯普林斯的工厂作为如此重大的投资和扩张的地点。我们估计这将使我们的地方经济在未来10年内增长约14亿美元，并为居住在派克峰地区的人们创造约400个新的高薪工作。加强半导体的生产对满足许多行业不断增长的需求至关重要，科罗拉多斯普林斯为成为这一努力的关键地点之一而感到自豪。"
美国科罗拉多州参议员迈克尔-贝内特说："去年，我帮助通过了《CHIPS和科学法案》，以重振美国的半导体产业，并将制造业工作带回美国。在科罗拉多州，随着各公司准备从该法中获得历史性投资，我们已经看到了好处。微芯公司计划在科罗拉多州斯普林斯市的扩张不仅将加强我们的国家安全，而且还将通过另外400个高薪工作岗位扩大机会。
美国科罗拉多州参议员约翰-希肯卢珀说："由于我们的CHIPS法案和Microchip，我们正在将制造业带回美国。半导体是我们这个时代的太空竞赛，而科罗拉多州将帮助我们赢得这场竞赛"。
美国国会议员道格-兰博恩说："微芯科技公司在科罗拉多州第五国会区扩大其足迹并投资其芯片制造厂，这令人激动。随着人们对这一关键行业的外国主导地位的担忧增加，美国实现微芯片的国内生产越来越重要。我赞扬科罗拉多斯普林斯市和科罗拉多斯普林斯商会致力于为派克峰地区带来高薪、高质量的工作和伟大的公司。"
微芯科技总裁兼首席执行官Ganesh Moorthy说："微芯科技科罗拉多斯普林斯工厂与该市和该州有着悠久的合作历史，我们赞赏他们继续支持我们为推动美国半导体行业的发展所做的努力。《CHIPS和科学法案》已经通过投资税收抵免对我们的业务产生了积极影响，我们正在为我们的几家半导体工厂，包括科罗拉多斯普林斯的工厂寻求产能扩张补助。我们看到，在伟大的伙伴关系、州和地方激励措施以及强大的当地优秀劳动力的推动下，该地区的光明前景是可能的。"
科罗拉多斯普林斯园区目前有850多名员工，生产6英寸晶圆的产品。Microchip正在安装的制造技术将在8英寸晶圆上运行，这将大大增加该厂的芯片生产数量。预计该工厂将增加400个工作岗位，从生产专家到设备采购和管理、工艺控制和测试工程方面的技术角色。
"Microchip模拟业务高级副总裁Rich Simoncic表示："Microchip在碳化硅领域的投资超过20年，其产品组合旨在为我们的客户提供创新的电源解决方案。"这个园区是生产我们的碳化硅技术的一个组成部分，可以保证我们的客户在过渡到碳化硅解决方案时有可靠的供应。"
"Microchip在科罗拉多斯普林斯和埃尔帕索县的扩张使我们的地区成为CHIPS和科学法案的投资对象。科罗拉多斯普林斯商会和经济发展公司总裁兼首席执行官Johnna Reeder Kleymeyer说："我们很荣幸能够领导Microchip的扩张项目，并支持将这些重要的制造业岗位重新转移到派克峰地区。 |
