Texas Instruments significantly upped its commitment to US chip production, detailing an historic $60 billion investment to supersize its fabrication facilities and a notable hike in the number of domestic jobs expected to be created in building and operating the sites.

The investment covers seven fabs across three sites in the US states of Texas and Utah, with up to 60,000 domestic jobs expected to be supported.

Texas Instruments branded the plan as the “largest investment in foundational semiconductor manufacturing in US history”.

Up to $40 billion is to go towards four facilities in Texas, with two more fabs to be added to a pair already being built. Texas Instruments said another site in the state “continues to ramp to full production”.

Texas Instruments is already building a second 300mm wafer fab in Utah while upping the output of an existing facility at the site, with the pair to ultimately be connected.

The US government welcomed the investment: Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick noted President Donald Trump “has made it a priority to increase semiconductor manufacturing” in the nation.

Lutnick said the collaboration between the nation and Texas Instruments would “support US chip manufacturing for decades to come”.

Texas Instruments president and CEO Haviv Ilan said the 300mm capacity being created will help “deliver the analogue and embedded processing chips that are vital for nearly every type of electronic system”.

Companies including Apple, Nvidia and SpaceX were tipped by Texas Instruments as being among the key beneficiaries of its investment.

Funds
Although the move was welcomed by the current US leadership, the investment was spurred under the previous administration as part of the broader CHIPS and Science Act initiated in 2022.

Texas Instruments finalised a $1.6 billion direct funding scheme with the government in December 2024 to contribute to the cost of building three of the 300mm wafer fabs in Texas and Utah.

At the time, the company predicted the move would “create 2,000 company jobs, along with thousands of indirect” roles.
