Sherman, Texas, USA: Taiwan-based GlobalWafers opened a $3.5 billion semiconductor wafer plant in Sherman and unexpectedly announced an extra $4 billion investment—bringing total spending to $7.5 billion. The facility will produce advanced 300 mm silicon wafers, essential for chip manufacturing, and create up to 650 high-tech jobs by 2028. Supported by the U.S. CHIPS Act and local incentives, the expansion reflects a growing push to localize semiconductor production amid global supply chain worries. Officials hail it as a win for U.S. manufacturing and economic development in North Texas.
