Texas Instruments invests $60B to expand semiconductor manufacturing facilities in Texas and Utah 

June 23, 2025
The expansion will support over 60,000 U.S. jobs and produce hundreds of millions of chips daily. 

Texas Instruments has announced plans to expand its semiconductor manufacturing capacity across seven fabs located in Texas and Utah. The company, which produces analog and embedded processing chips used in a wide range of electronic systems, is investing over $60 billion in the project, creating and supporting more than 60,000 jobs nationwide. 

The expansion includes multiple manufacturing mega-sites: new fabs SM1 and SM2 in Sherman, Texas, with plans for SM3 and SM4 to meet future demand; continued ramp-up of RFAB2 in Richardson, Texas; and the ramping and construction of LFAB1 and LFAB2 in Lehi, Utah. These facilities will produce 300mm wafers at scale, delivering chips critical to vehicles, smartphones, data centers, satellites, and more. The investment will enable Texas Instruments to meet growing demand and support key customers in advanced technology sectors. 

What people are saying 

In a recent quote, Haviv Ilan, President and CEO, Texas Instruments, said, “TI is building dependable, low-cost 300mm capacity at scale to deliver the analog and embedded processing chips that are vital for nearly every type of electronic system. 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 work alongside them and the U.S. government to unleash what’s next in American innovation.” 

Howard Lutnick, U.S. Secretary of Commerce, added, “For nearly a century, Texas Instruments has been a bedrock American company driving innovation in technology and manufacturing. President Trump has made it a priority to increase semiconductor manufacturing in America – including these foundational semiconductors that go into the electronics that people use every day. Our partnership with TI will support U.S. chip manufacturing for decades to come.”
