Texas Instruments Commits Over $60 Billion to Boost U.S. Semiconductor Manufacturing
Texas Instruments (TI) has unveiled an ambitious plan to invest more than $60 billion in building and expanding seven semiconductor fabrication plants (fabs) across the United States. This marks the largest investment in foundational semiconductor manufacturing in U.S. history, reinforcing TI’s nearly 100-year legacy of innovation.
With this expansion, TI aims to support the rapidly growing demand for analog and embedded processing chips used in vehicles, smartphones, data centers, medical devices, satellites, and thousands of electronic applications.
The company’s mega-projects across Texas and Utah are expected to support over 60,000 new U.S. jobs, strengthening domestic supply chains for years to come.
Building Capacity for the Next Generation of Electronics
TI remains the largest manufacturer of foundational semiconductors in the U.S. Their chips enable intelligent systems across consumer, industrial, automotive, and aerospace sectors.
To meet rising global demand, TI is expanding its production footprint through advanced 300mm wafer manufacturing, enabling high-volume output at lower cost.
Texas Instruments CEO Haviv Ilan highlighted the importance of this expansion:
“We are building dependable, low-cost 300mm capacity at scale to deliver the analog and embedded chips that power nearly every type of electronic system.”
This investment aligns closely with U.S. government goals to boost domestic semiconductor manufacturing.
Strengthening Partnerships With Leading American Innovators
TI’s manufacturing capabilities directly support some of the most influential U.S. companies. This new capacity expansion strengthens several key partnerships:
1. Apple – Powering Advanced Consumer Electronics
Apple’s CEO Tim Cook emphasized TI’s role in enabling next-gen devices:
“Texas Instruments’ American-made chips help bring Apple products to life.”
2. Ford – Advancing the Future of Automobiles
TI’s automotive-grade semiconductors support Ford’s vehicle electrification and mobility initiatives.
Ford CEO Jim Farley noted that this partnership helps secure a reliable U.S. supply chain.
3. Medtronic – Enhancing Patient Care
Medtronic relies on TI chips for life-saving medical devices.
Their CEO Geoff Martha shared that TI’s support during global chip shortages helped maintain critical medical supply continuity.
4. NVIDIA – Enabling AI Infrastructure
NVIDIA and TI are collaborating to support next-generation AI systems manufactured in the U.S.
Jensen Huang highlighted the shared vision to strengthen American manufacturing for AI.
5. SpaceX – Scaling High-Speed Satellite Internet
SpaceX is using TI’s high-speed process technology and advanced SiGe devices in its Starlink systems.
President Gwynne Shotwell emphasized that TI’s U.S.-made chips are essential for reliable, high-volume satellite production.
Inside Texas Instruments U.S. Mega-Sites: Texas & Utah
TI’s $60B+ investment spans three major manufacturing locations, with multiple fabs at each site:
1. Sherman, Texas – TI’s Largest Mega-Site
- SM1: First fab, beginning initial production this year
- SM2: Construction completed
- SM3 & SM4: Additional planned fabs to meet future demand
- Total investment here alone: Up to $40 billion
2. Richardson, Texas
- RFAB2: Ramping to full production
- Builds on TI’s legacy that began with RFAB1, the world’s first 300mm analog fab (2011)
3. Lehi, Utah
- LFAB1: TI’s first 300mm wafer fab in Utah
- LFAB2: Under construction, designed to operate as a connected extension of LFAB1
Together, these facilities will manufacture hundreds of millions of U.S.-made chips every day, powering the next wave of American technology.
A Look Ahead
Texas Instruments historic investment signals a major step in rebuilding and expanding America’s semiconductor ecosystem.
By strengthening local supply chains and collaborating with leading U.S. companies, TI is positioning itself and the nation for the next era of electronics innovation.
With an investment exceeding $60 billion, Texas Instruments is building and expanding multiple 300mm semiconductor fabs in the U.S. to meet growing global demand.
The project enhances domestic chip supply chains and supports major industry leaders like Apple, NVIDIA, Ford, Medtronic, and SpaceX. TI’s expansion marks the largest foundational semiconductor investment in U.S. history
