ALBANY, NY-New York State’s bid to make Albany a mecca for high technology received a boost late last week when Tokyo Electron Limited announced plans to house an R&D facility within a $300-million high-tech complex under development on the campus of the State University of New York (SUNY) at Albany here.

The company, the world’s second-largest producer of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, stated that its facilities at the Albany Center of Excellence complex on the SUNY at Albany campus will be in partnership with the Albany NanoTech project. The company’s research and development center will eventually create more than 300 high-tech jobs at the site.

The Tokyo Electron research and development center will allow advanced semiconductor research to be performed on 300mm equipment. The company’s center will be housed in two 300mm wafer cleanroom buildings, the company stated. The first of these buildings is nearing completion and should be open in the spring of next year. The company’s Albany operations will complement and expand current Tokyo Electron global research and development activities, as well as manufacturing capabilities in Austin, Phoenix, and Boston, company officials add. It will also supplement the firm’s participation in leading industry consortiums, such as International SEMATECH, which has plans to build a $400-million facility at the SUNY at Albany campus.
