Employee bonuses will also be suspended next year and executive salaries will be reduced for the remainder of the 2023 fiscal year which runs through August, the company said.<\/p>\n<p>The Boise, Idaho-based company has about 48,000 employees across 38 sties in North America, Europe and Asia\u2014including more than 5,000 people in Boise. It has not announced where the layoffs will occur.<\/p>\n<p>In September, Micron announced it was investing $15 billion through the end of the decade on a new semiconductor plant in Boise expected to create 17,000 American jobs. The following month, the company announced another semiconductor plant would be built in upstate New York, promising a long-term investment of up to $100 billion and a plant that could bring 50,000 jobs to the state. The restructure is not expected to affect those plans.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, Mehrotra said the investments were made possible by the federal CHIPS and <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/sciencee\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"Science\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Science<\/a> ACT of 2022, a $280 billion bill aimed at bolstering U.S. competitiveness against China. The law sets aside $52 billion to bolster the semiconductor industry, which had struggled to manufacture the memory chips powering smartphones, cars and computers because of COVID-related supply chain issues.<\/p>\n<p>But in recent months, the company has seen a dramatic drop in demand. Unit volumes for personal computers and smartphones have declined in 2022, Mehrotra noted. The company primarily makes two kinds of chips: NAND, which saves data when power is removed, such as in a portable flash drive, and DRAM, which must be powered on to hold data.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The industry is experiencing the most severe imbalance between supply and demand in both DRAM and NAND in the last 13 years,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Micron is exercising supply discipline by making significant cuts to our capital expenditures and wafer starts while maintaining our competitive position.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The restructure plan was part of Micron&#8217;s announcement of financial results for the first quarter of the company&#8217;s fiscal year, which ended Dec. 1. Revenue came in at just under $4.1 billion for the quarter, down from more than $6.6 billion the previous quarter.<\/p>\n<p>Still, Mehrotra said demand is expected to increase next year by about 10% for DRAM and about 20% for NAND.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-main__note mt-4\">\n                                                \u00a9 2022 The Associated Press.
