Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Years of aggressive efforts to develop the domestic manufacturing of semiconductor and computer components are set to bear fruit in the coming quarter, as the seemingly endless demand for cutting-edge technology for data centers, personal computing and other services--along with generous government incentives--are spurring some high-profile project kickoffs. Industrial Info is tracking about $8 billion worth of projects in the U.S. semiconductors and computers sector that are set to begin construction from July through September, with products ranging from silicon wafers to circuit boards to solar panels.

One of the largest projects in the sector is preparing to kick off next month: Polar Semiconductor LLC, which is jointly owned by Sanken Electric Company Limited (Saitama, Japan) and Allegro MicroSystems Incorporated (NASDAQ:ALGM) (Manchester, New Hampshire), is gearing up for a $525 million expansion of its silicon wafer fabrication plant in Bloomington, Minnesota, which would double production capacity to 40,000 wafers per month.
Supported with state and federal funds, including the U.S. CHIPS and Science Act, the facility will use new automation and artificial intelligence (AI) technology to service the automotive, aerospace, defense, optoelectronics and medical-device sectors. Subscribers to Industrial Info's Global Market Intelligence (GMI) Industrial Manufacturing Project and Plant databases can learn more from a detailed project report and plant profile.
Pentagon Technologies Group Incorporated, a subsidiary of Kurita Water Industries Limited (Tokyo, Japan), expects to begin work on a $50 million precision-cleaning facility for semiconductors in Mesa, Arizona, to remove particles, film or other impurities from the hardware. The project could be completed as early as the end of the year. Subscribers can learn more from a detailed project report.
Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) (Santa Clara, California), a long-time heavy-hitter in the industry, is preparing for a $12 million upgrade to its D1D Fab Building in Hillsboro, Oregon, which develops 300-millimeter wafers. Intel says the expansion will allow it to produce more 18A nodes for high-performance computing and mobile applications. Subscribers can learn more from a detailed project report.
TTM Technologies Incorporated (NASDAQ:TTMI) (Costa Mesa, California), which specializes in the production of printed circuit boards, is sprucing up two major facilities in the eastern U.S. with $13 million in equipment additions at its plant in Sterling, Virginia, and $5 million in upgrades to its plant in North Jackson, Ohio, both of which cater to data centers and other end markets. Subscribers can read detailed reports on the Sterling and North Jackson projects.
The data center sector represents a significant end market for TTM and its peers. Thomas Edman, the chief executive officer of TTM, noted in a recent earnings-related conference call that TTM's sales to data centers "represented 21% of total sales in the first quarter compared to 10% in first quarter of 2023 and 17% in the fourth quarter of 2023. This end market performed better than expected and saw 106% year-on-year growth, due to strength in our data center customers building products for generative AI applications."
