Terafab: Packaging, Not Lithography, Decides High Volume

SemiWiki analysis of the Terafab project: $16.8 billion for phase one and up to $119 billion across four phases. A research fab in Austin runs a few thousand wafers per month, while a volume fab in Grimes County targets 100,000 wafers.

• Terafab phase one is valued at $16.8 billion, all four phases at up to $119 billion
• The Austin research fab runs a few thousand wafers per month
• The Grimes County volume fab targets 100,000 wafers
• Packaging, not lithography, is called the key to high-volume output
