科林研發全新奧勒岡研發中心動土 加速AI時代半導體研發布局
(中央社財經訊息服務20260828 15:18:36)Lam Research 科林研發(那斯達克股票代號:LRCX)宣布於美國奧勒岡州圖拉丁的世界級研發中心舉行動土典禮,正式啟動全新先進奧勒岡研發中心的興建工程。該設施為公司未來5年逾30億美元全球研發網絡投資計畫的重要一環,旨在加速先進AI晶片開發的關鍵技術突破。這座位於矽林(Silicon Forest)的研發中心,佔地共計12萬平方英尺且鄰近重要客戶。完工後,科林研發圖拉丁研發中心的無塵室研發空間預計將增加超過 50%,進一步提升研發與驗證量能並加速解決方案開發。科林研發計劃將此設施打造為全球最先進的研發中心之一,提升研發產能與技術能力,強化與客戶並肩創新的能力,並縮短全球研發網絡的產品開發週期。

科林研發總裁暨執行長Tim Archer與執行副總裁暨營運長Sesha Varadarajan出席動土典禮,並與美國奧勒岡州聯邦參議員Jeff Merkley、奧勒岡州聯邦眾議員Suzanne Bonamici、奧勒岡州州務卿Tobias Read,來自英特爾(Intel Corporation)與美光科技(Micron Technology)的高階主管,以及其他政府機關、社區及非營利組織代表共同見證。
科林研發執行副總裁暨營運長 Sesha Varadarajan 表示:「因應AI時代快速演進的需求,推動新一代半導體發展需要持續不懈的創新,並聚焦客戶最重視的關鍵技術突破。我們位於奧勒岡州的全新先進研發中心將深化專業技術能力,並新增數萬平方英尺的無塵室空間,與客戶展開更緊密的合作,同時強化全球研發網絡的專業實力與研發布局。這項擴建計畫展現科林研發持續投入矽林發展的承諾,並強化其在美國半導體創新的領導地位。我們感謝奧勒岡州、華盛頓郡及圖拉丁市的長期合作與支持,也期待持續攜手合作,為這個我們已深耕逾30年、並深感自豪的社區創造更多經濟發展機會。」

擴大全球研發網絡量能
全新奧勒岡研發中心將延續科林研發在原子級半導體製造領域的領先優勢,並新增專業研發能力,以支援先進沉積和蝕刻製程開發、材料科學研究及硬體驗證。如同科林研發現有的研發中心,客戶可於新設施內與工程師密切合作,參與從概念發想到導入晶圓廠應用的各個產品開發階段。該研發中心亦將納入科林研發全球整合式專業研發網絡,與世界各地的研發設施協同運作,全天候、平行且具規模化的方式推動創新。
強化科林研發在矽林的領導地位
預計於2028年啟用的全新先進奧勒岡研發中心,是科林研發圖拉丁園區多棟建築擴建計畫的重要項目之一。根據第三方機構評估*,在為期3年的建設期間,該擴建計畫預計將創造約900個就業機會,並帶來5億美元的產值**。
擴建完成後,預計將成為科林研發迄今在奧勒岡州的最大投資計畫。根據評估,該計畫預計將帶來顯著經濟效益*,包含新增超過 400 個公司職缺,且使科林研發在全州提供的就業機會突破 11,000 個*。此外,科林研發對奧勒岡州的年度經濟貢獻亦將提升至超過 18 億美元*。
動土典禮其他致詞嘉賓包括華盛頓郡委員會主席 Kathryn Harrington、圖拉丁市議會議長 Valerie Pratt,以及奧勒岡州立大學校長 Jayathi Murthy。活動照片及相關素材請參閱媒體中心。

奧勒岡州聯邦參議員Jeff Merkley表示:「我支持持續投資奧勒岡州的經濟發展與人才培育,而科林研發的圖拉丁擴建計畫同時兼顧兩者。此次擴建不僅將創造數百個待遇優渥的高科技工作機會,也將進一步強化奧勒岡州矽林在半導體研發與製造的領導地位。這裡所推動的創新,亦將推動各項最先進的產業創新發展,包含AI與機器人等關鍵技術。」
奧勒岡州聯邦眾議員Suzanne Bonamici指出:「創新、研究及發展是奧勒岡州維持全球半導體領導地位的重要動能。恭喜科林研發的全新研發中心正式動土,也感謝科林研發持續投資我們的區域發展與在地人才。」
奧勒岡州州長Tina Kotek表示:「此次先進設施擴建計畫,奠基於科林研發深耕矽林超過30年的創新領導地位。這項投資將為奧勒岡州未來的經濟發展注入強勁動能,創造更多優質就業機會,強化本州世界級的研發生態系,確保奧勒岡州與美國在未來數十年持續引領半導體產業創新發展。」
奧勒岡州州務卿Tobias Read指出:「科林研發持續加碼投資奧勒岡州,展現本州半導體產業生態系的深厚實力,以及驅動產業持續發展的優秀人才。此次動土不僅代表一座新設施的建立,更象徵數百個新增就業機會、加速創新發展與對奧勒岡州的長期承諾。我很榮幸能夠共同慶祝這個重要的里程碑,也樂見科林研發作為矽林領導企業的持續成長。」
英特爾晶圓代工事業執行副總裁暨技術與營運長Naga Chandrasekaran表示:「數十年來,英特爾與科林研發在奧勒岡州及全球各地維持緊密合作。透過這座全新研發中心,我們期待進一步深化雙方合作,加速晶片微縮製程的開發、快速評估新技術,並實現新一代AI驅動運算所需的技術突破。」
美光科技全球營運執行副總裁Manish Bhatia表示:「AI象徵著半導體產業邁入歷史性的轉捩點,帶動記憶體需求大幅成長,同時提高對速度、規模與製造產能的需求。恭喜科林研發舉行動土典禮,我們也期待深化雙方長期以來的合作關係,協助美光科技推動大規模產能擴充,以因應AI時代快速發展的步伐。」
