Entegris will invest $700 million in U.S. research and development projects over the next several years to advance semiconductor innovation.
The company said Thursday the R&D investment will span its materials solutions and advanced purity solutions divisions.
“To support the industry’s growth, we have been creating a stronger and more resilient domestic semiconductor ecosystem in the U.S.,” said Dave Reeder, president and CEO of Entegris.

The announcement brings the company’s planned investment in domestic R&D and manufacturing initiatives to approximately $1.4 billion. Entegris previously announced a $700 million investment in a new manufacturing center of excellence in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
