| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| Basis of Presentation | The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of Micron Technology, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America consistent in all material respects with those applied in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 28, 2014. In the opinion of our management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all necessary adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, to fairly state the financial information set forth herein. |
| Reclassifications | Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to current period presentation. In addition, amounts for certain equipment purchases were reclassified from financing to investing within the statement of cash flows to better reflect the current nature of these transactions and to improve comparability with our industry peers. |

Fiscal year 2015 contains 53 weeks and the first quarter of fiscal 2015, which ended on December 4, 2014, contained 14 weeks. Fiscal year 2014 contained 52 weeks and the first quarter of fiscal 2014, which ended on November 28, 2013, contained 13 weeks.
