SpaceX has filed paperwork for a semiconductor fabrication facility, internally referred to as Terafab, in rural Texas, with a projected investment of approximately $55 billion. A $280 million expansion of the existing Bastrop facility is already underway, backed by a $17.3 million grant from the Texas Semiconductor Innovation Fund. That expansion will add one million square feet over three years for semiconductor R&D and advanced packaging operations.
Fouquet said the company is also developing a new advanced-packaging tool designed to support larger AI chip packages as semiconductor architectures become increasingly complex. "Right now it’s a small leg," he said.
The facility, planned for a site ... According to SpaceX's S-1 filing, the Terafab concept covers the full semiconductor value chain from lithography mask design through fabrication of logic and memory chips to advanced packaging....
