Micron starts manufacturing of 1α (1-alpha) DRAM, the most advanced memory ever produced in the United States, at its Manassas, Virginia, fab, supporting American memory production for critical industries including automotive, defense and aerospace, industrial, networking and medical devices.
Micron’s 1α node, the world’s most advanced DDR4 technology, will quadruple the company’s DDR4 wafer supply in Manassas, reinforcing a secure domestic source of long-lifecycle DDR4 and LP4 memory for customers.
Micron Chairman, President and CEO Sanjay Mehrotra hosts an event today at the Manassas site to celebrate the achievement, with remarks delivered by U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, U.S. Trade Representative Ambassador Jamieson Greer, U.S. Sen. Mark Warner, U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine and Virginia Speaker of the House of Delegates Don Scott.
