Glaze said the rst fab—or fabrication plant where manufacturing takes place—will be operational by the end of 2026. Using advanced techniques, the facility hopes to make some of the smallest semiconductor chips used for articial intelligence, Glaze said. Samsung Austin Semiconductor has room to grow in Taylor, as the company’s economic development agreements are for up to 10 fabs. However, Glaze said demand for semiconductor chips and geopolitical factors will drive when these subsequent fabs are built.
