The National Semiconductor Technology Center ( NSTC ) released a strategic plan and selected the sites of two of three planned facilities and released a new strategic plan.

The NSTC is meant to accomplish three goals: extend U.S. technology leadership, reduce the time and cost to prototype, and build and sustain a semiconductor workforce development ecosystem.

The Albany Nanotech Complex , which has already seen more than $25 billion in investments from the state and industry partners over two decades , will form the heart of the future NstC center.

A third promised center for prototyping and packaging is still to come.

Oregon offers the strongest ecosystem for such a facility, Intel says.

NSTC is administered by the nonprofit Natcast , which directs the EUV center.

“We want these things to be agile and make local decisions.”.
