SkyWater Technology Foundry

SkyWater Technology Foundry plans a 66,724-square-foot expansion of its Bloomington, Minnesota chip manufacturing facility, adding about 15,000 square feet of clean room space and supporting 30-50 new jobs.

SkyWater Technology Foundry announced the new SkyTech Center as an expansion of its operations at its Bloomington, Minnesota facility. The center repurposes clean-room space to enable advanced processing for carbon nanotubes, silicon photonics, superconducting ICs and MEMS, supporting DARPA's 3DSoC program.

Cypress Semiconductor Corp. sold the subsidiary that owns its semiconductor wafer fabrication facility in Bloomington, Minnesota, to SkyWater Technology Foundry for $30 million. SkyWater will operate the fab as a standalone business.
