Semiconductors@Purdue: Educating Tomorrow's Semiconductor Leaders
"We are excited to build a state-of-the-art advanced packaging facility in Indiana. We believe this project will lay the foundation for a new Silicon Heartland semiconductor ecosystem. This facility will create local, high-paying jobs and produce AI memory chips with unmatched capabilities, so that America can onshore more of its critical chip supply chain. We are grateful for the support of the state of Indiana, Purdue University and the broader community involved. We look forward to expanding our partnership in the long run."
