Texas Instruments Announces Over $60 Billion Investment to Boost U.S. Semiconductor Manufacturing
Texas Instruments (TI) has unveiled a historic investment of more than $60 billion to expand semiconductor manufacturing capabilities across the United States. This marks the largest-ever commitment to foundational semiconductor production in U.S. history, solidifying TI’s role as a cornerstone of American innovation. The initiative will establish seven state-of-the-art semiconductor fabrication facilities (fabs) across Texas and Utah, creating over 60,000 jobs and addressing the growing demand for chips that power everything from smartphones and vehicles to data centers and satellites.
The announcement comes as part of TI’s collaboration with the Trump administration and builds on nearly a century of technological leadership. By scaling its domestic manufacturing capacity, TI aims to deliver dependable, low-cost 300mm analog and embedded processing chips at scale—semiconductors that are essential for nearly every type of electronic system.
“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,” said Haviv Ilan, president and CEO of Texas Instruments. “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.”
A Strategic Partnership for Innovation
This massive investment reflects TI’s commitment to strengthening partnerships with some of the nation’s most influential companies, enabling breakthroughs across industries:
Igniting Intelligence with Apple
Apple, a global leader in consumer electronics, praised TI’s contributions to its product ecosystem. “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.,” said Tim Cook, CEO of Apple.
Fueling the Future with Ford
Ford, an iconic name in automotive manufacturing, is working closely with TI to secure a robust domestic supply chain for the future of mobility. “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.,” said Jim Farley, President and CEO of Ford Motor Company.
Connecting Patient Care with Medtronic
In healthcare, Medtronic relies on TI’s precision semiconductors to power life-saving medical devices. “At Medtronic, our life-saving medical technologies rely on semiconductors to deliver precision, performance, and innovation at scale,” said Geoff Martha, Chairman and CEO of Medtronic. “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.”
Advancing AI with NVIDIA
NVIDIA, a pioneer in artificial intelligence, is partnering with TI to bolster U.S.-based AI infrastructure. “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.,” said Jensen Huang, Founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “We look forward to continuing our collaboration with TI by developing products for advanced AI infrastructure.”
Securing High-Speed Connectivity with SpaceX
SpaceX leverages TI’s cutting-edge silicon technology to enhance its Starlink satellite internet service. “Our fundamental mission is to revolutionize global connectivity and eliminate the digital divide,” said Gwynne Shotwell, President and COO of SpaceX. “Core to this mission is constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible. TI’s U.S.-made semiconductors are crucial for securing a U.S. supply chain for our products, providing the performance and reliability needed to meet the growing demand for high-speed internet worldwide.”
Building Mega-Sites for Scalable Production
TI’s ambitious expansion plan includes three manufacturing mega-sites designed to produce billions of chips annually:
- Sherman, Texas: TI’s first fab in Sherman, SM1, is set to begin initial production this year—just three years after breaking ground. Construction is also complete on the exterior shell of SM2, the second fab in Sherman. Plans for two additional fabs, SM3 and SM4, are underway to meet future demand.
- Richardson, Texas: RFAB2, TI’s second fab in Richardson, continues to ramp up production, building on the legacy of RFAB1—the world’s first 300mm analog fab introduced in 2011.
- Lehi, Utah: LFAB1, TI’s first 300mm wafer fab in Lehi, is currently ramping up operations. Meanwhile, construction is progressing on LFAB2, which will connect seamlessly with LFAB1 to further boost output.
Strengthening U.S. Manufacturing Leadership
U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick highlighted the significance of TI’s investment under President Trump’s administration. “For nearly a century, Texas Instruments has been a bedrock American company driving innovation in technology and manufacturing,” he said. “President Trump has made it a priority to increase semiconductor manufacturing in America—including these foundational semiconductors that go into the electronics people use every day. Our partnership with TI will support U.S. chip manufacturing for decades to come.”
As the largest foundational semiconductor manufacturer in the U.S., TI plays a critical role in ensuring the availability of chips that fuel technological advancements. With this unprecedented investment, TI is not only addressing current supply chain challenges but also laying the groundwork for a new era of American innovation.
A Bold New Chapter in American Innovation
By investing over $60 billion in U.S. manufacturing, TI is poised to transform the semiconductor landscape while creating tens of thousands of jobs and fostering economic growth. The company’s expanded production capabilities will empower partners across industries to push the boundaries of what’s possible, driving progress in areas like AI, healthcare, transportation, and connectivity.
This bold move underscores TI’s unwavering dedication to delivering world-class technology while reinforcing the importance of domestic manufacturing in securing the nation’s technological future. As these mega-sites come online, they will ignite a bold new chapter in American innovation—one powered by dependable, cutting-edge semiconductors made right here in the U.S.
