Overview
- Gov. Greg Abbott joined TI leadership for a ribbon-cutting on Dec. 17 to mark the launch of production in Sherman, about 60 miles north of Dallas.
- TI says the first Sherman fab has begun delivering chips and will ramp toward tens of millions of units per day.
- The site is expected to add about 3,000 TI jobs and support thousands more, with many roles accessible through vocational training.
- The 300mm fab targets analog and embedded power chips for vehicles, smartphones, medical devices, and data center power systems rather than leading‑edge processors.
- Officials and researchers say the project will shorten supply chains, support Texas’ growing data center footprint, and strengthen regional semiconductor resilience after pandemic-era shortages.
