It will be able to start providing products to local producers in a couple of years.
The last month of the year will not be stingy with important events in the semiconductor industry, as can be seen from the publication on the pages of the DigiTimes website. Yesterday, according to a source, in the Texas city of Sherman, the procedure for laying the foundation for a new enterprise GlobalWafers took place – the latter company specializes in the production of silicon wafers, which are necessary for the production of semiconductor components. Currently, no more than 1% of the silicon wafers required for the production of chips are produced in the United States, so the emergence of a new specialized enterprise will reduce the dependence of the local industry on imports of this type of raw material.

About $5 billion and up to two years will be spent on the construction of the enterprise in Sherman. When the enterprise reaches its design capacity, it will be able to produce 1.2 million silicon wafers per month and provide employment for up to 1,500 people. Local authorities expect that the accompanying industrial infrastructure will also begin to develop around. The GlobalWafers management explained that it was choosing between Texas and South Korea, and the first of the regions bribed it with the presence of a purposeful well-coordinated team of specialists.
