Silicon wafers like the ones seen here are used in manufacturing semiconductors. A global shortage of semiconductor chips has exacerbated supply chain issues worldwide.

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.
Dallas-based TI says the innovation uses proprietary, newly engineered material and has been "nearly a decade in the making." Jeff Morroni of TI's Kilby Labs added that designers "turn to power modules to save on time, complexity, size and component count, but these benefits have required a compromise on performance—until now."
"From more advanced driver assistance systems to smarter electric vehicle powertrain systems, TI is working alongside automakers to reimagine how reliable and intelligent technology can enable safer vehicles," said Fern Yoon, director of automotive systems at TI. The new tech will be demonstrated Thursday at the 2024 CES conference in Las Vegas.
News of the USPTO fast-tracking is surely music to the ears of many North Texas innovators. Just last month, the region was awarded the Texoma Semiconductor 'Fablet' Tech Hub. Meanwhile, TI is building a $30 billion semiconductor campus in Sherman, and GlobiTech is building a $5 billion "fab plant" in the same North Texas city.
Jack Kilby's groundbreaking invention laid the foundation for modern electronics, and its impact affects nearly every aspect of our lives. His innovation can be found in nearly every piece of electronics we use today—from smartphones to computers, televisions, and even our cars and home appliances.
