Micron Technology, Inc., Demonstrates Leading Imaging Technology with Industry's First 1.7-Micron Pixel CMOS Sensor

TOKYO—(BUSINESS WIRE)—May 15, 2005— Micron Technology, Inc., (NYSE: MU) today publicly demonstrated functionality of the industry's first 1.7-micron pixel image sensor at Imaging Sensor 2005, a technical symposium organized by Nikkei Electronics in Tokyo, Japan.

"Today's demonstration of 1.7-micron pixel technology validates Micron's ability to deliver leading imaging technology and products," said Hisayuki Suzuki, Micron's Senior Director of Marketing for Imaging. "Shrinking pixel size enables mobile and consumer applications with higher resolution and smaller form factors resulting in an enhanced picture taking experience. Additionally, smaller pixel size facilitates increased features in other target applications, such as medical, biometrics and high-speed."

As with all Micron image sensors, the 1.7-micron pixel sensor incorporates DigitalClarity(TM) technology, differentiating Micron's image sensors from competitors' products by providing superior low light performance, color fidelity, dynamic range, high temperature performance and high frame rates. These key performance features deliver image quality benefits to customers across platforms, especially those customers targeting low light and high speed usage conditions.

Micron Technology, Inc., is one of the world's leading providers of advanced semiconductor solutions. Through its worldwide operations, Micron manufactures and markets DRAMs, Flash memory, CMOS image sensors, other semiconductor components and memory modules for use in leading-edge computing, consumer, networking, and mobile products. Micron's common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the MU symbol. To learn more about Micron Technology, Inc., visit its Web site at www.micron.com.
