New $20 billion capacity expansion will
bring Intel’s total Arizona investment to more than $50
billion.
What’s New: Intel today broke ground on two new
leading-edge chip factories at the company’s Ocotillo campus in
Chandler, Arizona. In a groundbreaking ceremony attended by senior
government officials and community leaders, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger
celebrated the start of construction on the largest private
investment in state history and reiterated the company’s commitment
to investing in U.S. semiconductor leadership.

“Today’s celebration marks an important
milestone as we work to boost capacity and meet the incredible
demand for semiconductors: the foundational technology for the
digitization of everything. We are ushering in a new era of
innovation – for Intel, for Arizona and for the world. This $20
billion expansion will bring our total investment in Arizona to
more than $50 billion since opening the site over 40 years ago. As
the only U.S.-based leading-edge chipmaker, we are committed to
building on this long-term investment and helping the United States
regain semiconductor leadership.” –Pat Gelsinger, Intel CEO
Why It’s Important: Advanced domestic chipmaking capacity
and capabilities are critical for the sake of both economic and
national security. The United States has lost ground in
semiconductor manufacturing and is at risk of falling farther
behind. With its new IDM 2.0 strategy, Intel is doing its part to
help rebuild U.S. leadership and bring more balance to the global
supply chain. Intel is the only semiconductor manufacturer with
leading-edge process and packaging research capabilities in the
United States, and the company is investing in domestic capacity to
support the surging worldwide demand for chips across multiple
segments, from PCs to automobiles to the data center and more.
The two new fabs in Arizona will not only support growing demand
for Intel’s products, but will also provide committed capacity for
the recently announced Intel Foundry Services (IFS). “With Intel
Foundry Services, Intel is opening its fab doors wide to serve the
needs of foundry customers around the globe – many of whom are
looking for more geographical balance in the semiconductor supply
chain,” said IFS President Randhir Thakur in a new editorial.
“Customers are enthusiastic about these capabilities. And we have
plans for continued investments in the United States, but we can’t
do it without government partnership to level the playing field. As
Congress returns from recess, we urge both chambers to send a
bipartisan bill to President Biden aimed at bolstering American
competitiveness and investing in advanced semiconductor
manufacturing and R&D.”
How It Works: With the addition of the two new factories
– to be named Fab 52 and Fab 62 – Intel’s Ocotillo campus will
house a total of six fabs. The new investment will create more than
3,000 high-tech, high-wage Intel jobs, 3,000 construction jobs, and
support an estimated 15,000 additional indirect jobs in the local
community. When fully operational in 2024, the new fabs will
manufacture Intel’s most advanced process technologies, including
Intel 20A featuring the new RibbonFET and PowerVia innovations. (To

About Intel in Arizona: Arizona is Intel’s U.S.
manufacturing powerhouse. For more than 40 years, Arizona has been
vital to Intel’s ability to create world-changing technology. Intel
is not only investing to advance the ecosystem of innovation, but
the company is committed to protecting Arizona’s natural resources
through its RISE strategy and sustainability efforts. For example,
Intel has set an ambitious goal to achieve net positive water use
by 2030. In 2020, the Arizona site returned and restored
approximately 95% of the freshwater used in manufacturing to the
community and local watersheds through innovative water management
practices and investments. (See the Intel Arizona: Sustainability
fact sheet for more details on Intel’s Arizona approach to
sustainability.)
“Today’s groundbreaking ushers in a new landscape for Arizona
semiconductor production,” said Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey. “For more
than 40 years Intel has been at the center of Arizona’s innovation
economy. Intel’s latest expansion promises to further that legacy
for decades to come while creating thousands of jobs cementing
Arizona’s position as a global leader for semiconductor
manufacturing. We are grateful for Intel’s continued investment in
Arizona and can’t wait to see these factories up and running.”
