Texas Instruments to Build Second Semiconductor Wafer Plant in Lehi, Utah
by Lance Murray | Feb 17, 2023
Dallas-based semiconductor giant Texas Instruments Inc. plans to build its next 300-millimeter semiconductor wafer fabrication plant, or fab, in Lehi, Utah, next to the company’s existing 300-mm semiconductor wafer fab in Lehi.
Once completed, TI’s two Lehi fabs will operate as a single fab.
“This new fab is part of our long-term, 300-mm manufacturing roadmap to build the capacity our customers will need for decades to come,” Haviv Ilan, TI executive vice president and chief operating officer, and incoming president and chief executive officer, said in a statement....

The new 300-mm wafer fabrication plant will help support the future growth of semiconductors in electronics. Called RFAB2, the new "fab" is connected to RFAB1, which opened in 2009 as the world’s first 300-mm analog wafer fab. Inside, 15 miles of automated, overhead delivery systems will eventually move wafers between the two fabs.
At full production, the Richardson fabs will manufacture more than 100 million analog chips a day that will go into electronics everywhere, TI says.

UTD and OSU Researchers Develop Tech That Can See in Low-Visibility Environments
by Kevin Cummings | Feb 24, 2022
The research team recently unveiled an imaging microchip that can see through low-visibility environments like fog, smoke, and snow. The product of more than 15 years of research, it could one day help drivers and autonomous vehicles detect objects in low-visibility conditions, assist manufacturers in package inspection, and help firefighters navigate through smoke and fire.
