"Microfluidics has the potential to drive revolutionary changes across industries, delivering speed, efficiency, and precision, to help pave the way for the next generation of innovation in life sciences and technology," HP's President and CEO Enrique Lores wrote in a Department of Commerce press release.
The proposed $50 million would support the expansion and modernization of HP's existing plant in Corvallis, OR, around 80 miles south of Portland. In addition to manufacturing silicon, the plant is one of the company's three global R&D centers.
HP says the expansion will also advance tech built for microfluidics, the study of the behavior and control of fluid on a microscopic scale.
The expansion of HP's 'lab-to-fab' facility, which combines R&D with chip manufacturing, is expected to create over 250 jobs.
