Hyderabad: Micron Technology, which had secured 1.1 million (11 lakh) sq ft of space in Gachibowli about two years back, is all set to unveil the new facility by the end of this year.

Semiconductor shortage

With the industry facing a severe shortage of semiconductors, Micron Technology chief business officer Sumit Sadana says that the shortage is expected to improve by end of the 2022 calendar year, although certain parts may still witness shortage next year as well.

“There has been an improvement in the supply side and we expect an ongoing improvement this year. However certain parts of the server, interface cards, power management products and micro-controllers may see shortage next year as well,” Sadana informed. He also said the Ukraine-Russia war has impacted the noble gas supply which is used widely in the semiconductor industry and also that there have been certain complications around logistics.
