Construction has begun in Texas, US, on one of the world’s largest semiconductor fabs, and a plan has been announced to manufacture cutting-edge semiconductors in the 1.4-nanometer class in-house using technology provided by Intel. The project is known as “TeraFab,” and construction is also progressing on the Research Fab, a research facility at the North Campus.
Construction has begun in Texas, US, on what is believed to be one of the world’s largest semiconductor fabs. The company plans to manufacture the latest-generation semiconductors in the 1.4-nanometer class in-house, using technology provided by Intel. This reflects growing recognition that owning a large-scale fab is essential amid persistent strain on conventional supply chains. Drawing on statements by Elon Musk and earnings announcements, the article follows developments toward making the project more concrete.
The project was announced as “TeraFab,” and construction has reportedly begun on the Research Fab, a research facility at the North Campus of Giga Texas in Texas. Efforts are advancing to secure manufacturing capacity on a global scale in response to the demand outlook for the next 3–4 years that Musk highlighted at a shareholders’ meeting. The article examines the project’s development to date and its future prospects.
