This week the final piece of a very unique project came into place at last. TI announced that the 220,000 square foot Richardson Fab (RFAB) is open for business. Pending final regulatory approval and other conditions, TI will acquire a large quantity of 300mm manufacturing tools from a bankrupt manufacturer - a reminder that even [...]
Today, TI announced the opening of RFAB, a new manufacturing facility in Richardson, TX. RFAB will be the world’s only production facility to use 300-millimeter silicon wafers to manufacture analog chips, and the first phase of production will be capable of manufacturing more than $1 billion worth of analog chips annually.
From smartphones to netbooks, analog [...]
A few years ago TI injected a sustainable challenge into the semiconductor industry when we completed the first LEED Gold certified wafer fab in the world in Richardson, TX. It was followed fairly quickly by TSMC’s LEED Gold fab in Taiwan. Several other semiconductor manufacturers have LEED projects completing or in development and the industry [...]
Back in 2004 TI was the first semiconductor manufacturer to register a wafer fab for LEED-NC Certification when we began the Richardson FAB (RFAB) design. LEED, which stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, has become the predominant green building rating system in the U.S. and is being used around the world.
When we presented [...]
