Equity [Abstract] |
Equity | Equity Micron Shareholders' Equity Common Stock Issuance: In October 2017, we issued 34 million shares of our common stock for $41.00 per share in a public offering for proceeds of $1.36 billion, net of underwriting fees and other offering costs. Outstanding Capped Calls: In connection with certain of our convertible notes, we entered into capped call transactions, which are intended to reduce the effect of potential dilution. The capped calls provide for our receipt of cash or shares, at our election, from our counterparties if the trading price of our stock is above the strike prices on the expiration dates. As of November 30, 2017, the dollar value of cash or shares that we would receive from our outstanding capped calls upon their expiration dates range from $0, if the trading price of our stock is below the strike prices for all capped calls at expiration, to $527 million, if the trading price of our stock is at or above the cap prices for all capped calls. Settlement of the capped calls prior to the expiration dates may be for an amount less than the maximum value at expiration. Expiration of Capped Calls: Subsequent to the end of our first quarter of 2018, we share-settled expirations of portions of our capped calls, and received 5 million shares (equal to a value of $215 million) based on the volume-weighted trading stock prices at the expiration dates. The shares received were recorded as treasury stock. Noncontrolling Interests in Subsidiaries

IMFT: Since 2006, we have owned 51% of IMFT, a joint venture between us and Intel to manufacture semiconductor products exclusively for its members, who share the output of IMFT generally in proportion to their investment under a long-term supply agreement at prices approximating cost. For the first quarters of 2018 and 2017, sales to Intel under such agreements were $112 million and $110 million, respectively. In the first quarter of 2018, IMFT discontinued production of NAND and continues to ramp production of 3D XPoint products. IMFT is governed by a Board of Managers, for which the number of managers appointed by each member varies based on the members' respective ownership interests. The IMFT joint venture agreement extends through 2024 and includes certain buy-sell rights. At any time through December 2018, Intel can put to us, and from January 2019 through December 2021, we can call from Intel, Intel's interest in IMFT, in either case, for approximately the net book value of Intel's noncontrolling interest balance at the time of the closing. If Intel exercises its put right, we can elect to set the closing date of the transaction any time between six months and two years following such election by Intel and can elect to receive financing of the purchase price from Intel for one to two years from the closing date. If we exercise our call right, Intel can elect to set the closing date of the transaction to be any time between six months and one year following such election. Following the closing of either the put or the call, we will continue to supply to Intel for a period of one year, at Intel's choice, between 50% and 100% of Intel's immediately preceding six-month period pre-closing volumes of IMFT products for the first six-month period following the closing and, at Intel's choice, between 0% and 100% of Intel's first six-month period following the closing volumes of IMFT products for the second six-month period following the closing, at a margin that varies depending on whether the put or call was exercised. As of November 30, 2017, IMFT had $150 million of IMFT Member Debt outstanding from Intel. Creditors of IMFT have recourse only to IMFT's assets and do not have recourse to any other of our assets.
