Intel has shared plans to advance its semiconductor technology development facilities at the Gordon Moore Park at Ronler Acres in Hillsboro. The campus is Intel‘s innovation hub for semiconductor research, technology development and manufacturing in the United States.

The Hillsboro facility is at 2501 NE Century Blvd. in Hillsboro.

This undertaking is possible with support from the state of Oregon, city of Hillsboro and Washington County, and in anticipation of support from the U.S. CHIPS and Science Act, an Intel news release states.

The investments in Intel’s Oregon research and development and manufacturing operations are part of Intel’s plans to invest more than $100 billion in the U.S. over a five-year period, CEO Pat Gelsinger said at September’s Intel Innovation event.

Plans include ongoing advancement of the company’s existing technology development facilities at the Gordon Moore Park campus, bringing a high-numerical aperture extreme ultraviolet lithography tool online, and initiation of the application process for permits to enable a potential future multibillion-dollar expansion to Intel’s research and development and manufacturing capacity.

These investments would support several thousand new permanent and construction jobs, the news release states.

Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek joined Intel executives on Monday in Hillsboro in celebration of Intel’s commitment.

Hillsboro is the heart of Intel’s research and technology development, accounting for 4 percent of statewide employment and helping to position the city and county as the center of Oregon’s growing technology industry with a vast network of local suppliers and contractors to support operations. Intel’s site in Oregon is the company’s largest, with more than 22,000 employees.
