On June 18, 2025, Texas Instruments (TI) announced plans to invest over $60 billion in collaboration with the Trump administration to expand its manufacturing capacity in the U.S. across seven semiconductor factories. This investment aims to meet the growing demand for semiconductors and drive innovation in key areas such as automotive, smartphones, and data centers. This will also mark the largest investment in the foundational semiconductor manufacturing industry in U.S. history. The new large manufacturing bases being established in Texas and Utah will create over 60,000 jobs in the U.S.
Specifically, this investment of over $60 billion includes the construction and enhancement of seven large wafer fabs, including:
Texas Sherman Wafer Fab: TI’s first new wafer fab SM1 in Sherman will begin production this year, just three years after breaking ground. The exterior of TI’s second new wafer fab SM2 in Sherman has also been completed. Additionally, TI plans to build two more wafer fabs SM3 and SM4 to meet future demand.
Texas Richardson: TI’s second wafer fab RFAB2 in Richardson continues to ramp up production, continuing the tradition of the company’s first global 300mm analog wafer fab RFAB1 launched in 2011.
Utah Lehi: TI is accelerating the construction of its first 300mm wafer fab LFAB1 in Lehi. Furthermore, the construction of TI’s second wafer fab LFAB2, connected to LFAB1, is also progressing smoothly.
TI President and CEO Haviv Ilan stated, “TI is building reliable, low-cost 300mm wafer capacity on a large scale to provide analog and embedded processing chips that are critical to nearly all electronic systems. Leading U.S. companies such as Apple, Ford, Medtronic, NVIDIA, and SpaceX rely on TI’s world-class technology and manufacturing expertise, and we are honored to partner with them and the U.S. government to unleash the potential of American innovation.”
U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo stated, “For nearly a century, Texas Instruments has been a cornerstone company driving innovation in technology and manufacturing. President Trump has prioritized the development of the U.S. semiconductor manufacturing industry, including foundational semiconductors used in everyday electronic products. Our partnership with Texas Instruments will support the U.S. chip manufacturing industry for decades to come.”
Texas Instruments is the largest foundational semiconductor manufacturer in the U.S., producing analog and embedded processing chips that are essential for smartphones, automobiles, data centers, satellites, and nearly all other electronic devices. To meet the growing demand for these critical chips, TI is solidifying its technological leadership and expanding its manufacturing operations in the U.S. to help its customers lead the next wave of technological breakthroughs.
Apple CEO Tim Cook stated, “Texas Instruments’ U.S.-made chips bring our products to life, and we will continue to create opportunities, drive innovation, and invest in the future of advanced manufacturing in the U.S.”
Ford and Texas Instruments are working together to strengthen U.S. manufacturing by combining Ford’s automotive expertise with TI’s semiconductor technology to drive innovation and build a strong domestic supply chain for future mobility. Ford Motor Company President and CEO Jim Farley stated, “80% of the cars Ford sells in the U.S. are assembled in the U.S., and we are proud to partner with a technology leader like Texas Instruments that continues to invest in American manufacturing.”
Medtronic collaborates with Texas Instruments to improve patient lives at critical moments. Medtronic Chairman and CEO Geoff Martha stated, “At Medtronic, our life-saving medical technologies rely on semiconductors for scalable precision, performance, and innovation. Texas Instruments has been a crucial partner for us, especially during the global chip shortage, helping us maintain supply continuity and accelerate the development of breakthrough therapies. We are proud to leverage TI’s semiconductors made in the U.S. to transform healthcare and improve patient outcomes globally.”
NVIDIA is collaborating with Texas Instruments to develop the next generation of AI architecture. NVIDIA Founder and CEO Jensen Huang stated, “NVIDIA and Texas Instruments share a common goal of revitalizing U.S. manufacturing by building more AI factory infrastructure in the U.S. We look forward to continuing our partnership with Texas Instruments to develop products for advanced AI infrastructure.”
SpaceX is increasingly utilizing TI’s high-speed process technology to connect its Starlink satellite internet service with TI’s latest 300mm SiGe technology manufactured in Sherman, Texas. SpaceX President and COO Gwynne Shotwell stated, “Our fundamental mission is to fundamentally change the way the world connects and eliminate the digital divide. At the core of this mission is the continuous breakthrough of possible boundaries. SpaceX produces tens of thousands of Starlink kits in the U.S. every day, and we are making significant investments in PCB manufacturing and wafer packaging to further expand. TI’s semiconductors made in the U.S. are critical to ensuring our product’s U.S. supply chain, and their advanced wafer manufacturing capabilities provide the performance and reliability needed to meet the growing global demand for high-speed internet.”
