ASU launches $270 million semiconductor facility in Tempe

By Jessica Boehm | Axios

ASU is partnering with Applied Materials Inc. to bring a $270 million research, development and prototyping facility to support the Valley’s burgeoning semiconductor industry.

Driving the news: The university and the California-based company announced the new Materials-to-Fab (MTF) Center Tuesday. It will be housed at ASU Research Park and is expected to open within two years.
