ASU is catalyzing semiconductor innovation and education.
Overview
Arizona is poised to be at the epicenter of the American microelectronics revolution — and Arizona State University (ASU) is committed to ensuring the industry’s success in our state. Working closely with leading microelectronics firms and leveraging Arizona’s investment in the New Economy Initiative, ASU is mobilizing the research and expertise, infrastructure and human capital necessary for industries and enterprises, large and small, to thrive.
This work builds on decades of ASU engagement with business and civic leaders to develop the infrastructure, regulatory environment and talent to meet the needs of a rapidly growing microelectronics industry. As a result, more than 2,800 Arizona-based advanced manufacturers create 138,000 high-paying jobs, driving downstream growth of businesses and jobs across other industries. Most recently, Intel and the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (TSMC) invested a combined $60 billion in three new advanced manufacturing facilities in Arizona, and numerous other firms are making significant investments as well.
