- 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?
@@rhysioeren3203it doesn’t owe anything to your country either, so shut up.
@@davepilsner2269 yeah, but here's the thing, china cannot.
This CNBC reporter (Katie Tarasov?) has churned out top notch video updates on the semiconductor industry (history, the major players, and suppliers). Keep it up, and well done!
Asianometry does a good job as well.
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.
You can go back to work as a consultant Company owner.
Nobody makes chips like Texas. Nobody!
@@whatsyourdream for sure the whole country side in my area is growing due to all the work Samsung and other semiconductor companies are bringing in.
@@whatsyourdreamexcept Taiwan
how did you like working there?
Mr L.J Sevin was one of the founders of TI. I was his nurse in his last days and he was such as amazing, kind, successful and insightful man
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
@@ss-fc2fhthere's no backup for that kind of power need
@@nicholaslayton6199 yes there is, another whole power grid
They have their own power generation at TI.
great reporting. as a texas native this is great for our economy. texas is quickly becoming a tech power house no longer just an energy power house.
Can you send some of your political leaders to NC to do the same. Were struggling to get basic companies like Home Depot to build warehouses here let alone something in this category.
@@Bojangleschicken910Well first you have to sell out your resources & citizens to the highest corporate bidder giving them all the tax benefits they want.

@@jema5039 Giving less resources to the government is a good thing.
@@user-gy1bu9gf8lreplacing a government who you can elect out with an aristocratic class of companies who can do anything they want isn't going to help you, especially in the long run.

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
A good report, thanks. Voted up and shared.
2nd biggest state. I'm a Texan but I'm pretty sure Alaska wouldn't appreciate you not acknowledge that it is bigger. Also, outside of the US TI calculators are not a players in the world market; Casio is the most used math tool.
TI calculators are still widely used nonetheless

Plano is not doing anything... besides wasting your property taxes...
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.

To support the manufacturing , Texas should build at least 20GW of clean Nuclear Power Plant.
I would love that, but I don’t think the oil lobbyists will allow it.
Well done and informative!!!
NGL it felt so relieving 😊
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."
Good. Texas pride worldwide ❤
Glad to hear it is coming back home.
Awesome! Thanks Joe!
The new gold of the Modern Age advance microchips.
About time we bring chips back home to Texas!
Texas has so much fabs
It would be CNBC that can't even get the biggest state right.
Alaska is the biggereer state than Tejas. You should know that
It's crazy that both US and China are at Chip wars, even though they could've just buy more of them in Grocery stores.
Are they also called potato chips in China? I know the Brits say crisps.
@@CausticLemons7 I suspect they are called by a Chinese name in China.
@@AdamBechtol Haha fair but I meant is it the same kind of description like chip or crisp?

Frito-Lay is headquartered in Texas as well.
Very cool stuff happening in Texas!
Watching the world change from the perspective of a Texan is pretty exciting. Texas has so much going on right now everywhere you look. Feels like I have a window seat on a rocket ship. TO THE MOON!
And the majority of Texas house and Senate voted against the Chips bill.
They voted against the Chips bill since they were taking cues from CNBC that both Texas and Florida are horrible states filled with racists.
@@davekropp8773 That's really interesting, why did they vote against?

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.
This video is misleading. TSMC is planning to charge a 30% premium for semiconductors made in the US. It will never take off.
I live near the second large Samsung factory in Austin, I can see the steam from their smokestacks from my neighborhood in winter.

Awesome that tx do this
Morris Chang founded TSMC with help of Dutch company Philips and also ASML was founded in 1984 by the Dutch companies Philips too.
ASML is now ignoring US sanctions and has been exporting lithography machines to China against the illegally imposed US sanctions against China.
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
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.
Wow nice
Interesting. I must admit, I did not know this.
LOL, I was gonna comment that I was surprised they didn't mention TSMC's first venture outside Taiwan to Phoenix due to the Chinese threat. They make the tiniest, most in-demand chips currently.
Not due to Chinese threat lmao, it’s the US forcing them to build in the US. The moment the US becomes independent from Taiwan regarding chips, Taiwan will become just another proxy war staging ground, US will no longer have to worry if China retakes Taiwan or not
In 2016, TSMC built a factory in Nanjing, China. Turns out Nanjing isn't in Taiwan. 😂
@@davepilsner2269 Okay, outside the Chinese area then (China considers Taiwan part of China as it was created after Mao took over). And the point is it is the only place safe if China attacks Taiwan ...AND, they are producing 4-nanometer technology chips, with 100,000 wafers per month. So I do stand by my statement. Thanks.
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:
czcams.com/video/d2Yi1R3JkYU/video.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. ☀⚡

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.
Texas Instruments!
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?
