Samsung delays semiconductor production at Taylor, Texas factory

Samsung has reportedly postponed its plan to begin mass production at its new semiconductor factory in Taylor, Texas until 2025. The delay is speculated to be due to issues related to US government subsidies and various permit complications.

Samsung’s Taylor factory is a semiconductor fab being constructed in Texas. Spanning a kilometer in length, the site has sufficient space to accommodate up to ten additional fabs beyond the first one. The initial line at this factory is set to produce 4nm semiconductors.

Korean newspaper Seoul Economic Daily reports that the President overseeing the foundry business at Samsung announced that “the first wafer would be produced in the second half of next year at the Taylor factory, with mass production commencing in 2025.”

This marks a significant shift from the original plan announced at the time of the initial investment in 2021, which aimed for mass production by the second half of 2024. Industry insiders now expect only a small volume of equipment setup rather than full-scale operation next year at the Taylor facility.
