In the late 1990’s New York State conducted a statewide search for locations which met the criteria for semiconductor manufacturing. The Marcy Nanocenter at SUNYIT location has the following site specific advantages.
why It’s Important
$47 million budget, $22 million spent to date on capital expense projects, site assembly, marketing and project administration (see page 1).

Site Advantages
Current aerial shot of site
Companies build-out Fab campuses over time. Sites must have enough land for a multi-fab design.
Water is used to rinse silicon wafers after each step in the manu-facturing process – every time a chip is imbedded with another circuit, of which they have many. A chip fab uses 9 million gallons a day.
Chip fabrication requires an uninterrupible large power supply. If a power failure occurs during chip fabrication, the entire batch of chips is rendered useless. This loss is millions of dollars.
Because work at the nanoscale level requires highly sensitive tools such as scanning electron microscopes, any vibration or electrical interference will compromise the manufacturing process.
This is a global industry and travel is often a requirement. The catchment area for employees is within an hour drive.
To be globally competitive, the time frame from decision to ground-breaking must be a few months or less. Completing infrastructure improvements prior to securing a tenant for Marcy Nanocenter at SUNYIT reduces the time needed for construction, tool installation and the ramp up of their operation.
New York State: $34.7 million, Oneida County: $6.5 million, National Grid: $2 million, EDGE: $2.7 million, Oneida County Industrial Development Agency (OCIDA): $354,000
Site Specific Advantage
420+ acres
The Mohawk Valley Water Authority has an excess of 28 million gallons per day.
Power: Redundant feed 115kV; 99.9999% reliability
Background noise, Electro Magnetic Frequency and vibration free.
Logistics: Close proximity to major highways
Shovel ready: Short timeframe from decision to groundbreaking due to completed infrastructure

Marcy Nanocenter at SUNYIT is a 420+ acre greenfield site on the campus of SUNYIT. It is among the largest shovel-ready site in New York State’s Tech Valley. With EDGE leading the site development and marketing, it competes on a global scale to recruit this industry.
