In the microelectronics industry, a semiconductor fabrication plant, also called a fab or a foundry, is a factory where integrated circuits (ICs) are manufactured. [1]

This is a list of semiconductor fabrication plants, factories where integrated circuits (ICs), also known as microchips, are manufactured.

Oct 4, 2024 · This graph displays semiconductor fabrication plants (both new and expansions) by owner, highlighting the companies driving the push for new sites in North America. Leading the pack is Samsung Foundry, with 12 planned fabs in Austin and Taylor, Texas.

Jan 27, 2023 · The industry will have to double semiconductor production to keep pace with future demand, but most fabrication plants, commonly called fabs, are already operating at capacity. To increase supply, many companies have announced plans to build new fabs and some are already in the construction phase.

Sep 12, 2023 · In 2021, Samsung announced that it would be breaking ground on a new semiconductor fabrication plant in Taylor, Texas—roughly 16 miles from its S2 foundry—and funneling around $17 billion into construction, equipment, machinery, and …

Semiconductor factories, or “fabs,” produce some of the most complex products on Earth. Fabs have four levels – the interstitial and fan deck, the clean room level, the clean sub fab level and the utility level – each with its own unique functions to bring semiconductors to life.

Last updated March 28, 2024 The U.S. semiconductor industry is one of the world’s most advanced manufacturing and R&D sectors. The U.S. Semiconductor Ecosystem Map demonstrates the breadth of the industry, including locations conducting research and development (R&D), intellectual property and chip design software providers, chip design, semiconductor fabrication, and manufacturing by ...

Jun 3, 2024 · The nation’s top 15 semiconductor companies already represent a combined $2.5 trillion in market capitalization. Let’s examine some of these manufacturers and the semiconductor fabrication plants (“fabs”) they operate in more detail. 1. Nvidia. Nvidia was founded in Sunnyvale, California, in 1993 as a fabless semiconductor firm.

5 days ago · We’re building a new 300-millimeter semiconductor wafer fabrication plant in Lehi, Utah, that will begin production as early as 2026. The new fab (LFAB2) currently under construction, will connect to our existing fab (LFAB1) in the heart of the Silicon Slopes.

4 days ago · We’re building new 300-millimeter semiconductor wafer fabrication plants in Sherman, Texas, that will manufacture millions of analog and embedded processing chips daily that will go into electronics everywhere. Production from the first fab is expected as early as 2025.
