Micron breaks ground on Hiroshima facility to boost high bandwidth memory production

Micron Technology has commenced construction on a 1.5 trillion yen expansion of its Hiroshima plant to manufacture high bandwidth memory chips. This project is supported by up to 775 billion yen in Japanese government subsidies to meet the rising global demand for AI accelerators.

Why it matters

This expansion signals a long-term commitment to stabilising the supply chain for high-performance compute resources. Increased memory availability is critical for teams training and deploying large-scale generative models that require massive data throughput.

Key points

  • Investment totals 1.5 trillion yen for the Hiroshima site expansion.
  • Facility focuses on high bandwidth memory chips essential for AI accelerators.
  • Japanese government provides significant financial backing for the project.
