Delivering geopolitically dependable supply
What sets us apart
Support for growth
We’re expanding our global manufacturing footprint with strategic investments in 300mm wafer fabs to support the capacity our customers will need for decades to come. Assembly and test factories and product distribution centers are undergoing continuous expansion and automation.
Control of our supply
Our internal wafer manufacturing and assembly and test operations are growing to support more than 95% of our production by 2030. This expanded footprint will give us control over our own supply to meet current and future demands.
Owning our process technologies
We’re investing and increasing capacity in 45 to 130nm nodes to meet the critical and long-term need for essential chips. We develop and own our process technologies to optimize products for price and performance.
Sustainable manufacturing
We have a long-standing commitment to responsible, sustainable manufacturing, including reusing or recycling water and 90% of our waste materials. Our new 300mm factories are designed to meet LEED Gold standards and will be powered by 100% renewable electricity.
The future starts with the first: Our newest 300mm wafer fab is in production
300mm wafer fabs
Sherman, Texas (SM1, SM2, SM3, SM4)
Announced in November 2021, the site has the potential for four fabs operating as one site to meet demand over time. The first fab, SM1 is open and in production and construction is complete on the second fab, SM2.
Lehi, Utah (LFAB1, LFAB2)
LFAB was purchased in 2021 and began 300mm wafer production in 2022. Announced in February 2023, a second 300mm semiconductor wafer fab is under construction on the site and will connect to the existing fab.
Richardson, Texas (RFAB1, RFAB2)
RFAB opened in 2009 as the world’s first 300mm analog wafer fab. A second 300mm wafer fab connected to the first fab started production in 2022.
An inside look
Ever wonder how the tiny chips powering your devices are made? Take a peek inside one of our 300mm wafer fabs and explore the three levels of this high-tech facility, where millions of chips are manufactured daily.

Fan deck level
The top level of the fab contains the specialized fan systems that purify the air and maintain consistent temperature and humidity. The equipment pumps the clean air down into the fab.
Take a virtual tour of the fabCleanroom level
The cleanroom is where semiconductor chips are made. Thousands of the world’s most sophisticated and complex machines, called “tools” take bare silicon wafers through hundreds of process steps to create millions of chips every day. Cleanroom employees wear “bunny suits,” designed to protect the wafers from lint, hair, oil or even flakes of skin.

The bottom level of the fab houses the pumps, power cabinets, utility pipes and other equipment that power the tools in the cleanroom. The complicated network of pipes running through the ceiling into the clean room floor through a series of holes called a “waffle table.” This allows us to bring essential elements like water, chemicals and gases into the fab.
Take a virtual tour of the fabA flexible supply chain
We have owned and operated wafer fabs around the world for decades – producing high-quality and reliable chips. With increased investments to automate and modernize our existing fabs, we are able to efficiently manufacture billions of foundational semiconductors now and in the future. Coupled with our new 300mm capacity expansion projects, we can provide better assurance of the supply our customers need.
We own and operate assembly and test facilities (A/Ts) around the world, where the individual semiconductor chip is separated from the wafer and assembled, packaged and tested. The back-end manufacturing process is a key part of our internal manufacturing operations and undergoing continuous expansion, modernization and automation to support customer demand.
Once TI products are packaged and tested, they are shipped to one of our product distribution centers (PDCs), which are strategically located around the globe to provide fast, reliable delivery. We are continuously growing our PDC network with additional locations and automating systems to increase productivity.
A core element of our strategy is to grow capacity across our global manufacturing footprint and continue to advance our processes to ensure high quality devices. Our goal is to provide customers with geopolitical dependability and diverse sourcing options they need to support their growth for decades to come.
