Texas Instruments Gets Up to $1.6B in Federal CHIPS Funding for Semiconductor Plants in North Texas and Utah
by David Seeley | Aug 16, 2024
The funding from the U.S. Commerce Department will support the construction of two semiconductor wafer fabrication plants in Sherman, 40 miles north of Dallas—part of TI's $30 billion, four "fab" project in the city. It will also support the buildout of another TI fab plant in Lehi, Utah.

Under new federal funding announced Wednesday by the Commerce Department, Taiwan-based GlobalWafers will build and expand facilities in Sherman and St. Peters, Missouri. In Sherman, the investment would establish "the first 300mm silicon wafer manufacturing facility for advanced chips" in the U.S.—along with the production of 150mm and 200mm silicon cabide epitaxy wafers.

To create a device for the world of quantum computing, you have to think small. Richardson-based Zyvex Labs has been developing a device since 2007 that acts as a type of microscope that can manipulate atomic structures on a surface. That's led to the ZyvexLitho1 system, which enables more precise, automated patterning at a sub-nanometer resolution. It's also led to $28 million in funding from agencies like DARPA.
John Randall, the company's CEO, says the new system will be "really useful for research that's going to lead to better quantum computers"—eventually leading to one "that can do the ridiculous number of fabulous things that they say it's going to do.”
