Texas Instruments LFAB2

Utah’s biggest-ever private investment is a chip plant. Texas Instruments is building LFAB2, an $11 billion, 300-millimeter wafer fab in Lehi that bolts directly onto the company’s existing Lehi fab. It’s the largest economic investment in the state’s history, and TI is targeting first production as early as 2026.

Project Scope

• A new 300-millimeter (12-inch) wafer fabrication plant connected to TI’s existing Lehi facility, sharing infrastructure and workforce.
• Output aimed at analog and embedded processing chips, the unglamorous semiconductors inside cars, appliances, and industrial gear.
• About 800 new permanent TI jobs, plus several thousand construction and indirect roles during the build.
• Part of TI’s broader US capacity push, alongside its 300mm fabs in Sherman, Texas.
• Production targeted to ramp as soon as 2026.

Why It Matters

Most semiconductor headlines chase the leading edge, the 2- and 3-nanometer logic that runs phones and AI accelerators. LFAB2 makes the other kind of chip, the analog and embedded parts that every car and dishwasher needs and nobody markets. That’s a deliberate bet: own a high-volume slice of the market that’s less glamorous but far steadier. Building next to the existing Lehi fab also lets TI share clean-room infrastructure and a trained workforce, trimming both cost and ramp time. It joins TI’s domestic fab network, including its Sherman, Texas campus, as the company reshores more of its own chip supply.
