JSR Micro, Inc. Breaks Ground for New Oregon Facility

Sunnyvale, CA – July 8, 2019 – JSR Micro, Inc. announced today that, to expand the company’s semiconductor materials manufacturing capabilities and capacity, it has begun construction on a new state-of-art facility in Hillsboro, OR.  The full investment for the project is an estimated 100 million USD and is scheduled to start operations in 2020.

JSR recently purchased land in Oregon with the strategic vision to partner even more closely with its customer base and to broaden its semiconductor materials portfolio in the area of advanced cleans.  The new facility will have a complete manufacturing suite including QA/QC, engineering and advanced process control capabilities.  The site will work in conjunction with JSR’s local R&D team to quickly address issues and provide solutions for future technology requirements.

The new site will meet JSR Micro’s current needs and provide options for future strategic expansion.  The JSR group is committed to expanding its digital solutions business by providing innovative and high-quality products, services, and technologies.
