- Опубликовано: 11 май 2024
- Texas has taken the top spot as the center of U.S. chip manufacturing. The Lone Star State now has more semiconductor fabrication plants than any other state, and six new projects will bring an estimated $61 billion of investment and 8,000 jobs. The integrated circuit was invented in Texas more than 60 years ago, and chip companies are attracted by low taxes, plentiful land, and the $1.4 billion Texas CHIPS Act passed in June. CNBC got a rare look inside three massive chip fabs and toured the two biggest projects under construction: Texas Instruments’ $30 billion site north of Dallas and Samsung’s $17 billion fab near Austin.
Correction: This story has been updated to reflect the correct size ranking of Texas, and details about the invention of the transistor.

How Texas Became The American Chipmaking Hub
An interesting fact that wasn't mentioned was that Morris Chang, the godfather of the modern-day fab operation, was rebuked from becoming the CEO of Texas Instruments (1985). Instead went back to Taiwan and founded TSMC.
Most American inventions are from Asian Chinese Korean Korean Vietnamese Indian immigrants but US medias portray like white inventions then whyte so smart why need Asians for pay high wage n nearby Asiantowns Chinatown for instead in Midwest central south inland empire whyte regions in western n eastern coasts. AmeriK KKa is way fall behind Asian industry in high tech electronic car EV chip med. Kakakak Kakakak.
Damn that’s sweet revenge
Is that pro or anti Texas?
Fellow John Coogan fan I see 😏
Morris Chang was born in Zhejiang Province, China. He had never been to Taiwan before the age of 50. It is not accurate to use [back to Taiwan]. should use [go to Taiwan]
US made a smart move on manufacturing chips back home... its quite logical as its a birthplace of transistor and most of the advanced chip making designs.
😂, the industry does not own everything to the US. Take that idea away from your head.
@@rhysioeren3203 I didn't say that "industry owns everything to the US", stop twisting my words and get real! Maybe u should read comments first before u provide stupid trolling reply! World certainly doesn't need another "wanna be" troll and if u want to be one u should do a better job punk! U r fricken real as your fake profile!
What will these chips be used in, if China can make better chips cheaper at home without having to pay for shipping?

@@davepilsner2269 yeah, but here's the thing, china cannot.
I Worked for SAS and I have to say it’s quite the process to get the wafers built. The logistics and everything that goes into it is very interesting. I would definitely consider going back to work in the manufacturing world.

One thing those fabs will need is super reliable power grids. A single fab power outage for just a few minutes is measured in tens of millions of dollars. There is a lot of parts inside those fabs that take damage when they lose power. It's all about thermal equilibrium of key working parts and avoiding uneven thermal dimensional changes measured in angstroms.
I have no idea if that's true but I trust you
If only they installed backup gen

Kinda disappointing that my hometown of San Antonio hasn't seen the benefits of this Chip making boom. We seriously need to step up our game!!
nobody care about yalls big women down in san antonio and that green musty ass river
Agreed SA resident here. "No one wants to work anymore." Is realistically, "no one wants to hire anymore."
San Antonio doesn’t need it. It’s got plenty of military monies. Plus the best Tex mex. And the churro loving big ole women
All we can do to get our hands on it is by focusing on the underground bullet train system
I hear San Antonio women love chips. Just not this kind.
What the US needs to do is to bring home the production of exotic metals so china cant blackmail the US for the raw materials to make the most advanced chips and other advanced tech.
As for Texas it needs to go all in with molten salt nuclear reactors and to really upgrade its electric distribution infrastructure.
Their privatized grid is a nightmare. Crypto companies are scamming consumers due to mismanagement
How many Superfund sites does it take to change a lightbulb?
Americans like you can’t compete is the real problem
Look up TMRC in west Texas.
Jack Kilby of TI was the co-inventor of the integrated along with Robert Noyce on Intel. Kilby made a very crude device while Noyce made a manufacturable version at nearly the same time. Kilby was awarded the Nobel prize which Noyce would have shared had he still been alive at the time. That's why they are considered co-inventors.
Living in the past isn't going to sell these chips that are banned in China, the global manufacturer of devices utilizing microchips.
texas is full of cheap labor and cheap land because of how polluted it is hope you dont get anymore moist or youll start to kick up something dangerous
Yes! Local assembly lines sources locally made chips from Texas.
Then the price of all your electronic product using the chips made in US become skyrocketing yet with poor quality
The logistic hub in Texas is non-existant for this so the cost of these chips will go up. In China everything is strategically placed, meaning everything needed is available to you right there next door.

Perhaps a lesson...
[Quote is from Wikipedia for convenience]
"SEMATECH was conceived in 1986, formed in 1987, and began operating in Austin, Texas in 1988 as a partnership between the United States government and 14 U.S.-based semiconductor manufacturers to solve common manufacturing problems and regain competitiveness for the U.S. semiconductor industry that had been surpassed by Japanese industry in the mid-1980s.
SEMATECH was funded over five years by public subsidies coming from the U.S. Department of Defense via the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for a total of $500 million.
Following a determination by SEMATECH Board of Directors to eliminate matching funds from the U.S. government after 1996, the organization's focus shifted from the U.S. semiconductor industry to the larger international semiconductor industry, abandoning the initial U.S. government-initiative."
I live in Texas but Arizona will always be a second home close to my heart. Glad to see both Texas and Arizona are benefitting from this boom!

Na that would be Heavy is the head imo
People have no concept of how important TI is for electronics. They make many of the common jellybean parts used in most designs, as well as many PMICs, and ADCs. It would be difficult to build a design *without* at least one TI part.
Detroit is a port on the Detroit River, one of the four major straits that connect the Great Lakes system to the Saint Lawrence Seaway.
They need to start adding solar panels on those massive foundry rooftops. Also huge parking lot area too. Such a huge wasted potential looking at those bare rooftops.
Can run the whole facility on sunshine during daytime with potentially big energy exports to grid for credit or saved to local battery to help with night operations. Running on solar also takes a big load off the grid since these chip foundry factories are power hungry.
Exporting surplus energy to the grid also reduces load on the regional grid and can power local communities directly in times of extended Texas heatwaves which will become more frequent.
Texas is already one of the greenest states without inefficient planning like this
@@WorldIsWierd What specifically?
@@WorldIsWierd True Texas has surprisingly a lot of renewables for a such a traditionally oil based economy - especially wind. Texas renewables are growing fast. But currently some 60% of the state's annual electrical generation is fossil fuel based with some 10% of that being the dirtiest coal/lignite.
Critically, residential/commercial solar *unloads* the grid and the grid is expected to be a major obstacle towards the much needed electrification of our society.
Simply put, every watt generated & consumed locally is a watt that does _not_ stress a distant power plant nor the grid to transmit that watt. There is huge efficiency in that alone.
As we're in midst of an unrelenting heatwave, I'll point out heatwaves always come with abundant sunshine. So solar panels will excel during the hottest hours of the day. The greater the percentage of residences, factories & commercial buildings that have solar then the greater the load is taken off the grid at _exactly_ a time when the grid experiences its _maximum_ stress. There's so much sunshine in a heatwave that a home could power its own loads (include A/C) and partially power their neighbor's with surplus too.
Finally, it needs to be said that the cosmically large sun provides millions of times more energy per day than we could ever use. Huge factory and commercial rooftops are ideal locations to maximize land use efficiency. Onsite power generation is one of the most efficient ways to use that free god given clean power directly. Furthermore, sunshine cannot be taxed, sanctioned, embargoed or blockaded.
Plenty of sun (and heat) here in Phoenix with solar panels all around the new TSMC fab megacomplex.
@@SWLinPHX Excellent, most excellent!
Drone aerial view:
ruclips.net/video/d2Yi1R3JkYU/видео.html
Apart from the obvious benefits, what better way for a public display of a silicon fabrication factory's undying love for silicon than with 15 *megawatts* of electricity producing silicon right on site? The employees will be loving the shade for their vehicles too.
Plenty of remaining rooftop area and other parking lots to have some 10× more solar power onsite. ☀⚡
About time we bring chips back home to Texas!
NGL it felt so relieving 😊
Frito-Lay is based in Plano, TX. I never heard of these other guys, but I welcome all the different flavors.
Wasn't TI one of the main bottlenecks in analog and legacy chip production during the chip shortage? Chip wafer production was a major bottleneck, but leading edge fabs from TSMC, Samsung, and Intel were able to keep up with demand for advanced chips outside of GPUs due to the cryptocurrency mining craze.
So you're saying One company created the shortage? Seemed pretty severe to Me!
You forgot some context there. They were able to keep up with advanced semiconductors *because they cut many of the less advanced ones.* That's where the vehicle chip shortage came from. Most cars, with the exception of a few more tech focused ones like Tesla, use the equivalent of an old phone ARM chip.
None of the wafer fabs shut down in Texas
TSMC and Samsung are also legacy chip producers; that's actually the majority of their production. You have it all wrong, all fabs were operating at capacity. It wasn't a chip shortage; it was a demand surge; however many chips were anticipated to be produced were produced. The auto industries supply problems was their own doing. At the onset of the pandemic, they cut their orders. When they realized they would need those supplies again, someone else had already taken their spot in line; the result of just-in-time manufacturing.

Thank you .. about time. When I found out … most of the chip came from overseas. I was like why would you put America in that situation?
Because I knew people who died of cancer from manufacturing chips...which seems to failed to have been mentioned. There was a large lawsuit against the companies for the families who lost their husbands from semiconductor development (top engineers at the time). They had no idea in the 70s-80s the health hazard at the time until afterwards. They moved it overseas for "our" safety and employed " disposable" people who can be trained to do a specific task instead to manufacture it. They no longer employ actual engineers and rather protect them by keeping them on a different campus instead. I personally kept my godsister company growing up while she watched her Dad slowly die from the cancer. He was a brilliant man but the payout they won ($1 million per family or about 5-10 year salary replacement) was not enough to replace the pain she had to go through knowing her entire childhood, her father was going to die from building computer chips.
Well what devices other than weapon systems use microchips in US manufacturing? It's not like the US is a hot bed industrial innovation. 😂
@@davepilsner2269of course it is. USA is the second largest manufacturer on the planet, unless your Chinese, USA is far ahead of your country.

As a California native congrats to Texas.
Nice
would be nice if we could all just enjoy each other and accept we don't all think the exact same way.
Strange that nobody build fabs in California.
the science and chips act has put some form of coersion on samsung and tsmc to extant their fabs in the US. or why would they accept the conditions linked with the subsidies to share profits and submit confidential data?
Can't they reuse the water? Or can it be used to irrigate crops?
It's recycled internally.
They have basically no water for crops. They get a lot of subsidy money for keeping trying to grow anyways.
three different water supplies... there is DI water that is reused, there is process water and it gets treated and flushed and there is cooling water that is reused
So glad Texas got the second best in the world-Samsung. The thing is , the global Champion TSMC goes to Arizona. The second best is still left behind by TSMC.
Love Texas! 😎

Well, if the main reason for the prices of cars and trucks to go from $30000 up to $80000 was because micochips were so expensive, then the prices will go back down now that Texas is making the chips right? Wrong. Once manufacturers realize they can get a certain amount of money for something they will never go back down they will refuse. Our government ran the price of cheap $2 cigarette packs up to $8 a pack. A Candy bar now cost you $3. And a vehicle that realistically only costs $12,000 to produce, will cost you 80 Grand.
Bro cigs have not been $2 since the 90’s.
@@gamefather9105 I don't know what you've been smoking but in 2012 I was getting senecas for $2 a pack. Seneca was a very cheap cigarette but just like every other product that sells big in America, they jack the price up on popular items just because they show demand. There was absolutely no true reason for the price to go up the tobacco from that cigarette was coming from here in America. I have been using vuse Alto for a number of years now to stop smoking cigarettes and they used to be about $3 per pod averaged out because the four packs were about $12 now a four pack is 29.00. they were $12 just 3 years ago.

Texas has emerged as a prominent center for semiconductor manufacturing due to several influential factors, which include a substantial available space, convenient access to essential materials, and comparatively lower business costs. Notably, Texas Instruments played a pivotal role in the genesis of integrated circuits, fostering a longstanding association between the state and the semiconductor industry.
In recent times, Texas has succeeded in attracting prominent industry giants like Samsung, Texas Instruments, Infineon, Global Wafers, NXP, Apple, and Amazon, all of whom have either expanded their operations or opted to develop bespoke chips within the state. The implementation of the Chips Act has further bolstered Texas' prospects in this domain, as the state strives to claim a significant share of the extensive $52 billion budget dedicated to supporting the reshoring of chip manufacturing.
By adopting competitive policies, offering incentives, and boasting abundant resources, Texas has effectively positioned itself as a critical participant in the nationwide endeavor to establish domestic chip manufacturing capabilities, thereby mitigating dependence on foreign suppliers.

These factories wouldn't be in Texas if it weren't for government subsidies. Tax breaks, tax money funded giveaways to highly successful companies, etc. No wonder our property taxes are so much higher.
@@lcxb8575 Yeah and most of the jobs don’t go to native Texans they bring in people from out of state or out of the country. Why? Because they know they’ll buy houses and pay property tax and increase the tax rolls. State doesn’t have to worry about investing money in training or education for native Texans, let that happen elsewhere. On a national level, the Federal government is doing the same thing by allowing* literally hundreds of thousands of people per month into the country in order increase the tax base because they desperately need that tax revenue to pay the interest on the government debt to the tune of over $1 Trillion per year. The initial sunk cost of paying for these illegal immigrants is estimated to be around $450 Billion per year, or roughly 50% of the military budget, and that’s just the illegals let in this year alone. I suppose the government is playing a long game where they are attempting to avoid a situation 10-20 years from now where complete insolvency is an inevitability. This means that we’ll likely see 3 Million or more immigrants per year enter the US for the next 5-10 years as long as we have a continuity of crooked administrations. There are economic and social engineering reasons for this. The former is used to justify the latter and vice versa. If you talk to “conservatives” they’ll justify immigration by saying we’re a nation of immigrants, we need the cheap labor, these people do jobs others won’t, etc. They think all these people are coming across the border to clean houses. Maybe some of them, are but as seen recently a lot of these people are from Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. When you see hordes of Military aged single men coming across the border, it really makes you start to fear that perhaps there is a more nefarious agenda at play. The extremely ODIOUS radicals on the left, such as Frances Fox-Piven (Look her up) claps their hands with joy as millions of non-anglo Europeans cross the border into the US, because they truly believe, that “Whiteness” is a social construct that must be destroyed. They believe that the anglo-European tradition, when allowed to flourish, inevitably leads to the gates of Auschwitz. Your nuclear family=Nazism. Your pretty feminine daughter who goes to Church and sings in the Choir=Nazism. Celebrating Christian values and upholding them=Nazism. It isn’t as bad as you fear..it’s worse. They hate us. They hate white Americans, and most of all, they hate Christians. Why do you think it is then, that when a girl gets gang r*ped and murdered by brown immigrants in Europe, that 8 of the 9 men who CONFESSED to the crime, walk free? It’s because that is the intended result, and that is the future America faces. Our children will be subject to all manner of abuse, violence, and discrimination not because radical leftists don’t realize that is the unintended consequence of their policy, but because that is the intended result. So many smart white Americans have quietly fled to mountainous regions of the country, hoping to hide from this reality while also being able to maintain plausible deniability of the notion that they may be some sort of vile racists. The truth is, they can run but they can’t hide. The spine of this nation has been broken. I don’t blame people for running, but at a certain point, we will have to fight back.
The worlds oldest continuously operating chip fab plant is here In South Portland, Maine.
Ok... So what's the name of this corporation?
The most pointless flex.
@@texan-american200 it started out as Fairchild Camera. It has been sold a few times since. Was National Semiconductor, TI, and a couple others. It’s split in two now. Currently one is Diodes, the other is On I believe.
Maine?? Lol, lmao even 😂
Megaprojects indeed.
I wish everyone the best and i look forward to seeing how the US and Europe will be in chip manufacturing in a couple of decades and onward.
Over production will change the economic returns on chip industry. Countries with higher production costs are likely to produce at loss making level that might require currency reevaluation.
Texas (and SxSW) has always been the leader in semiconductor fab in the US.
You're just waking up to it now.
We should had our own chip making all along. Their is no excuse to not already have our own chip making. We should also have our own medicine making as well not be getting it from China. Also our own oil and gas as well. We have enough oil in Alaska alone to supply all of the U.S. For over 100 years.
Whenever politicians speak especially about self interest, I feel they are misleading or outright lying.
look at russia...no chip, no making new weapon.
companies from the Bay Area moved to Austin Years back and continues to grow mainly because of the high cost of housing in the bay area. TX is hot & Cold and taxes are High
Texas has been a leader in chip manufacturing since the mid 70s. TI and many others were my customers. It shrunk quite a bit in the 90s, but it's booming again now.
Texas is a garbage state.
All I heard was "Real Estate in those communities is going higher"
Going green in the largest oil-producing region in the world - no doubt
As conservative as Texas is...they sure are smart and are doing a good job in attracting the business and investment needed to make successful urban and rural centers.
I don't think my many Texas rural in-laws would agree with you. Texas is certainly growing in the urban / suburban areas, but I don't see much growth in the rural areas (unless you are counting on the metros expanding into previously rural areas).
@@krakken- is Taylor, Texas and Lubbock, TX …and Sherman, TX not somewhat rural?
@@ispeakasipleaselubbock has 250,000. Hardly rural.
Yeah at the expense of the average person like you and me. Do you understand what it means for these companies to not pay any income tax while we still do? It means we fund them. From us they get the money to build all the infastructure for those companies to generate even more profits, and we dont see a drop of it. Conservatives are the enemy, they have attracted big business here in the worst way possible, at our expense.
@@Wolfcamp555 And Taylor TX is an Austin suburb (~30 min from the Austin airport), and Sherman is a DFW suburb (~30 min from DFW).
Abilene, TX would be a nice location for a chip manufacturer. We need something more than another TexMex!
Abilene needs to step up its game of bribing corporations to relocate. Ft Worth city government has that down to a science.
Right you are, Chris. Home Depot and Amazon sell a strap just for this. For years, I have used a similar strap.
Alaska is America's biggest state.
No one cares about Alaska
She said second biggest state. Listen again in the first 1 minute of the video
Texas is the largest state in the contiguous US. Maybe that should be the clarification everyone in the comments wants to see.
0:53 yeah, but state doesnt want to overload the one state that oiled the grease 4descendents but GPS & snowden complicated
Cool the U.S. is starting to make chips here in the states, the unfortunate side is the cost of chips made in the U.S. are typically 3 times higher.
Great work, Texas
I wonder why they dont put some of these type of plants in the rust belt. At what point does a state become over loaded. Issues like water, man power, housing.
I think mostly is space and states willing to give tax breaks.
Chip manufacturing requires a lot of technical skills that are more available in Texas (and California and a few other states) than the Rust Belt.
tax breaks, Texas offers a lot of free money to corporations at the expense of the local taxpayer
Made me think of the show Halt and Catch Fire.
New US Semiconductor Projects...
Texas: $61 Billion
Arizona: $80 Billion
TI is a sleeper, will be huge in 5 more years.
It was huge 30 years ago:). Adding manufacturing to the US won't change it a lot.
Texas Instruments!
Stop stop, my Texan ego can only be stroked so much before it pops!
Move over California, Texas coming in hot on the scales
