Elon Musk’s TeraFab project is seeking Japanese semiconductor equipment and materials suppliers as it advances plans for Texas chip plants, including a full-scale facility designed to produce about 1 million wafers a month. The procurement team has approached Japanese companies with plans for orders. A supplier executive described requests for nonstandard factory specifications, long-term engineering support at the site and custom equipment development. TeraFab targets pilot production in Texas in 2027, followed by a full-scale plant in 2032. The project plans to combine memory and logic chip production at the larger facility, with 70% of capacity allocated to memory and 30% to logic. Intel technology is under discussion for logic production, including Intel 2-nanometer and 1.4-nanometer-class processes. Those details have not been finalized. A Taiwanese company may provide memory technology. The potential Taiwanese partner has not been identified, and details of any cooperation have not been disclosed. The Japanese supplier search follows the project’s [earlier visits to about 10 South Korean company booths at SEMICON West 2026](). ## Links in this article - [earlier visits to about 10 South Korean company booths at SEMICON West 2026](https://www.tokenpost.com/news/technology/35600)
