In an interview with the Washington Post, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger shared some details on the company's plans to expand its foundry operations in the US. As part of the company's IDM 2.0 plan, the company aims to construct a new cutting edge fabrication complex that will cover both wafer manufacturing and advanced packaging technologies. While the final factory location still hasn't been disclosed, the company said it plans to build the complex in close proximity to universities - a way to facilitate the hiring process of qualified personnel and, perhaps, of establishing joint research and development. Intel expects this foundry complex to cost between $60 and $120 billion.
The factory should thus include between six and eight modules dedicated to Intel's leading-edge manufacturing processes and wafer processing, and will also include facilities dedicated to Intel's proprietary EMIB and Foveros packaging technologies. Power will be delivered by an on-site dedicated power plant. And while Intel hasn't disclosed which manufacturing processes this new fabrication complex will specialize in, the 2024 timeframe for the construction to commence likely means a higher likelihood of it being a true cutting-edge, Intel 4 or Intel 3 manufacturing technologies rather than scaling up production for current processes.

Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger said:We are looking broadly across the U.S.. This would be a very large site, so six to eight fab modules, and at each of those fab modules, between 10- and $15 billion. It's a project over the next decade on the order of $100 billion of capital, 10,000 direct jobs. 100,000 jobs are created as a result of those 10,000, by our experience. So, essentially, we want to build a little city."

Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger said:We're engaging with a number of states across the United States today who are giving us proposals for site locations, energy, water, environmentals, near universities, skill capacity, and I expect to make an announcement about that location before the end of this year," Gelsinger said.
