Samsung Austin Semiconductor is celebrating more than 28 years in Central Texas. Our Austin site, built in 1996, was mirrored after the Hwaseong semiconductor site in Korea.

From a cornfield to one of the world’s best foundries, we have invested more than $18 billion in operating two fabs at the Austin campus since 1996—making it one of the largest direct foreign investments in United States history.
