Mikron Group (Russian: ОАО «НИИМЭ и Микрон»), headed by JSC Mikron, is a manufacturer and exporter of microelectronics in Russia and the CIS.[1][2] Its facilities are located in Zelenograd, Russia.

History

During the period from 1960–1980 Mikron developed microelectronic technologies for the USSR.[1][3]

The company collaborated with STMicroelectronics to establish a 180 nm process in 2007, with plans to begin mass production the next year.[4]

In 2010, Mikron obtained a license for a 90 nm process, with production starting around 2012–2013.[2][5][6] The 90 nm production facilities and the design center were co-financed almost up to 50% by Rusnano, with a total cost of 16,57 billion Russian rubles.[7]

In 2014, due to the suspension of activities between Visa, MasterCard and certain Russian banks, Mikron hoped to receive orders related to the creation of the Russian national card payment system to be launched in 2015.[8][9][10]

In late 2014 it was announced that Mikron had started pilot production of a domestic microprocessor called Elbrus-2SM using a 90 nm process under the import substitution program in Russia.[11][12] Domestic production of the Elbrus-2SM microprocessor was selected by the readers of the technical magazine CNews as the most significant event of 2014, while the creation of a national card payment system ranked at number 3 on the list.[13] The 65 nm process was also accomplished in the following years and passes qualification and refinement of the production process in 2020.[14]

In April 2022, the US Treasury Department imposed sanctions on 21 entities and 13 people, including Mikron, for their ties to Russia following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.[15]

In May 2022, MCST started talks with Mikron to move production of the Elbrus processors to Mikron's facilities, after Taiwan's TSMC cut off its ties with the Russian company due to US sanctions. The transfer of production would require MCST to switch back to a 90 nm process, as Mikron does not provide production using 28 nm technology.[16]
