“That's what we get through placing scale in the North Texas area: Greater infrastructure to support our manufacturing needs.'

Overhead, wafers whir by on 15 miles of automated track that move the 12-inch diameter circular silicon slices around and between two Texas Instruments semiconductor fabrication plants in Richardson. Underfoot lies the “raised floor” commonly used in tech facilities to cool equipment and route cables, wiring and electrical supply out of sight and out of the way.

RFAB2’s startup of operations is an integral part of Dallas-based Texas Instruments ambitious plan to invest tens of billions of dollars to build a half dozen new fabrication plants to help meet the needs of a global semiconductor supply chain that has struggled to meet demand since the pandemic set in., vice president for TI’s 300-mm Wafer Fab Manufacturing Operations.

TI designs and manufactures analog and embedded semiconductors at its facilities in North Texas and elsewhere. The company’s 80,000 products are essential building blocks of electronic systems to help efficiently manage power, accurately sense and transmit data, and provide the core control, or processing, for the systems.

“The way a factory works, you have to have a certain amount of headcount to get through startup, and then you have to hire as you increase your production capability,” he said. “We've completed the initial startup hiring, and we are now working on the hiring that gets us through production capability, which will take the next three years.”

“This is a system in which all of our material is delivered to the tools,” he said. “This is essentially our manufacturing workforce that is delivering the production to the tools. A hoist lowers the pod, which has the silicon wafers in it, onto the tool and then docks onto the tool and then executes that process at one of the 400 steps required .”

“That factory will primarily focus on the embedded space while RFAB2 will primarily enable our analog growth,” Flessner said., about 50 miles north of Richardson.
