Texas Instruments: Over $60 Billion U.S. Investment Planned With Support From Trump Administration

By Amit Chowdhry ● Yesterday at 1:22 AM

Texas Instruments (TI) announced plans to invest over $60 billion across seven U.S. semiconductor fabs, making this the most significant investment in foundational semiconductor manufacturing in U.S. history. Collaborating with the Trump administration and building on the company’s nearly 100-year legacy, TI is expanding its U.S. manufacturing capacity to meet the growing demand for semiconductors that will drive critical innovations, from vehicles to smartphones to data centers. Combined, TI’s new manufacturing mega-sites in Texas and Utah will support more than 60,000 U.S. jobs.

TI is the largest foundational semiconductor manufacturer in the U.S., producing analog and embedded processing chips that are critical for smartphones, vehicles, data centers, satellites, and nearly every other electronic device. To meet the growing demand for these essential chips, TI is building on its legacy of technology leadership and expanding its U.S. manufacturing presence to help its customers pioneer the next wave of technological breakthroughs.

The company’s $60+ billion investment in U.S. manufacturing includes building and ramping seven large-scale, connected fabs. And combined, these fabs across three manufacturing mega-sites in Texas and Utah will manufacture hundreds of millions of U.S.-made chips daily, igniting a bold new chapter in American innovation.

1.) Sherman, Texas – SM1 (TI’s first new fab in Sherman) will begin initial production this year, just three years after breaking ground. And construction is also complete on the exterior shell of SM2, TI’s second new fab in Sherman. Incremental investment plans include two additional fabs, SM3 and SM4, to support future demand.

2.) Richardson, Texas – TI’s second fab in Richardson RFAB2 continues to ramp to full production and builds on the company’s legacy of introducing the world’s first 300mm analog fab, RFAB1, in 2011.

KEY QUOTES:

“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.”

Haviv Ilan, president and CEO of Texas Instruments

“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.”

U.S. Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick

“Texas Instruments’ American-made chips help bring Apple products to life, and together, we’ll continue to create opportunity, drive innovation, and invest in the future of advanced manufacturing across the U.S.”

Apple’s CEO Tim Cook

“At Ford, 80% of the vehicles we sell in the U.S. are assembled in the U.S., and we are proud to stand with technology leaders like TI that continue to invest in manufacturing in the U.S.”

Jim Farley, President and CEO of Ford Motor Company

“At Medtronic, our life-saving medical technologies rely on semiconductors to deliver precision, performance, and innovation at scale. Texas Instruments has been a vital partner – especially during the global chip shortages – helping us maintain supply continuity and accelerate the development of breakthrough therapies. We’re proud to leverage TI’s U.S.-manufactured semiconductors as we work to transform healthcare and improve outcomes for patients around the world.”

Geoff Martha, Medtronic chairman and CEO

“NVIDIA and TI share the goal to revitalize U.S. manufacturing by building more of the infrastructure for AI factories here in the U.S. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with TI by developing products for advanced AI infrastructure.”

Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA

“Our fundamental mission is to revolutionize global connectivity and eliminate the digital divide. Core to this mission is constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible. SpaceX is manufacturing tens of thousands of Starlink kits a day – all right here in the U.S. – and we are making huge investments in PCB manufacturing and silicon packaging to expand even further. TI’s U.S.-made semiconductors are crucial for securing a U.S. supply chain for our products, and their advanced silicon manufacturing capabilities provide the performance and reliability needed to help us meet the growing demand for high-speed internet all around the world.”

Gwynne Shotwell, president and COO of SpaceX
