Keeping track of all the new semiconductor fabrication sites can be difficult. Here is a list of all the major fabs being built in the US and Europe.

January 6, 2025 - ASML, NXP Semiconductors, SOITEC, Aixtron, X- Fab, Infineon, STMicroelectronics, Technoprobe, BE Semiconductor, and Melaxis are Top 10 Semiconductor Manufacturing Companies in Europe.

February 6, 2026 - GlobalFoundries Fab 8 is one of the largest semiconductor fab plants located in Malta, New York. It entered production in 2009. The GlobalFoundries (GF) fab 8 plant produces 12 nm chips and above for FinFET devices on 300 mm wafers (12-inch wafers). The Fab 8 plant was built at a cost of more than USD 15 billion by GlobalFoundries.

March 4, 2025 - Besi specializes in semiconductor packaging and assembly and holds 39% of the global ... Smart Photonics another one from the Netherlands although not that big (jet). Currently building its first test factory which will produce the first photonic chips. ... I guess we still have to wait for that to happen. But making people know that you can buy stocks from European companies, might improve the chances to get something, maybe, hopefully.

February 12, 2024 - Similarly, other countries such as France, Poland, Spain, and Italy are also witnessing new fabrication projects in the 2023-2024 timeframe. Recently, under the framework of European Chips Act, semiconductor giant Infineon Technologies AG announced collaboration with TSMC, Robert Bosch GmbH and NXP Semiconductors.

October 13, 2025 - OEFs (Open EU Foundries) are first-of-a-kind manufacturing facilities in the EU that dedicate at least part of their capacity to producing chips for external customers. By opening their capacity to other companies, they contribute to global supply chain resilience. IPFs (Integrated Production Facilities) are vertically integrated semiconductor manufacturing facilities that combine several stages of chip production, from design and manufacturing to testing and packaging.

November 26, 2024 - Find new customers, analyze competitors, and discover market opportunities in minutes. Gieni helps industrial sales teams grow faster.

Source: SEMI European Microelectronics Market Study, January 2007 · Notes: The chart includes high and low volume production fabs. A fab may be involved in several fields (technologies). Included in this population are several 300 mm wafer fabs and several fabs with sub-90 nm technology. This diverse mix of production resources represents about $6.6 billion in semiconductor equipment and materials spending this year, making Europe a larger market than China.

January 28, 2025 - The recent push back of at least 2 years of Intel’s Magdeburg Fab is a reminder that words are cheap and actions expensive, especially when it come to semiconductor foundries. In 2024 Europe control 7% of the world foundry capacity which means it must process 50% of its wafers elsewhere either by foundry ownership abroad or purchases to an open foundry such as TSMC, or Samsung Semiconductor.

March 27, 2024 - Soitec SA (OTC:SLOIY) ranks ninth on our list of the biggest semiconductor companies in Europe. The company is based in France and was founded in 1992. It designs and manufactures innovative semiconductor materials. It is home to six manufacturing fabs and owns over 4,000 patents.

The U.S. maintains a strong presence in wafer fabrication with companies like Intel, GlobalFoundries, and Texas Instruments. The CHIPS Act, introduced in recent years, aims to boost domestic semiconductor production and reduce reliance on Asian manufacturing. Europe focuses on specialized semiconductor segments, such as automotive and industrial applications.

From 2022 to 2023, there has been news that new semiconductor fabrication plants are being built around the world. Starting with TSMC in Taiwan, Intel, Micron Technology, Global Foundries in the United States, Infineon Technologies, Robert Bosch, STMicroelectronics and other European entities will also build new fabrication plants one after the other.

May 27, 2024 - The Gray zones can be divided into high-potential countries (Russia, Israel, India, Costa Rica, Switzerland, etc), medium-potential countries (Brazil, Argentine, Australia, etc), and low-potential countries (countries without any semiconductor facilities) according to the existing capacity of processing technologies in the facilities, resources, companies and scientific environment. In terms of cities (municipalities), 34 fabs are operating in Hsinchu while Singapore possesses 15 facilities.

capacity can be used to manufacture modern logic semiconductors: Globalfound- ries’ 22nm FDSOI fab in Dresden and STMicroelectronics’ 28nm FDSOI fab in Crolles,

2 weeks ago - Intel’s Magdeburg fab isn’t just another semiconductor plant—it’s a high-stakes move in the battle for technological dominance. With a staggering $33 billion investment, Intel is making a bold statement: Europe will play a critical role in the future of advanced chip manufacturing.

3 days ago - GlobalFoundries subsequently shifted production from the site's Fab 10 to other locations and sold the 300mm wafer fab to ON Semiconductor in 2019 for $430 million, with ownership transfer completed in 2023; ON Semiconductor has since continued and expanded operations at the facility.[68][69][70] In more recent years, STMicroelectronics closed its 8-inch wafer fab in Phoenix, Arizona, which focused on analog and power management chips, with the shutdown announced in 2007 and completed around 2010 as production shifted to facilities in Europe and Asia.
