Texas Instruments Inc. (TI) announced its first wafer fabrication facility, or “fab,” in China. This milestone puts manufacturing close to the company’s growing customer base there. Located in the Chengdu High-tech Zone (CDHT), which is considered by many to be China’s next major technology hub, TI Chengdu will further expand TI’s analog production capacity.
The fab is a fully equipped 200mm manufacturing facility includes an operating 120,000-square-foot fab that can support more than $1 billion in annual revenue and a 134,000-square-foot fab reserved for future production needs.
