Intel's Ohio Wafer Factory Makes Significant Progress

Update time : 2024-10-31 10:12:44

According to a report by WSYX TV 6, an ABC affiliate local media in Ohio, USA, Intel has made remarkable progress in the construction of its wafer factory located in Ohio.

Intel reported that the basement of the wafer factory is now ready, and the next stage involves building the floors. Meanwhile, four large super cranes have already been delivered. Intel also offered a glimpse of one of the world's largest cranes at the construction site.

In 2021, Intel announced an investment of over $28 billion to build two cutting-edge chip manufacturing campuses in Licking County, Ohio. Although the progress was slow initially and the mass production of the wafer factory might be postponed until 2026 or 2027, it seems that Intel is now picking up the pace.

Jim Evers, Vice President of Intel in Ohio, reported that over 5 million man-hours have been invested in constructing these facilities. The basement is now completed, and the team will now shift its focus to building the main floors. In addition, four super cranes are available on site - one of them weighs 916,000 pounds, causing the road to be closed for 9 days. Super cranes are crucial for transporting equipment and materials to these wafer factories, and they can be as long as an entire football field.

To mark this feat, a team from Intel visited the fourth and fifth graders at Johnstown Middle School. They showed the students images of the Liebherr LR, which is capable of lifting 5.5 million pounds or the equivalent of 400 adult elephants.

Despite the progress that has been made, Intel has yet to clarify exactly how long it will take for these wafer factories to go online. Because building the manufacturing units is one thing, while setting them up and ensuring that everything operates according to the standards is another. It may take Intel a year or two to get these campuses running at full speed.

For now, Intel is the largest single private-sector investor in Ohio's history. Given Intel's precarious financial situation, it is imperative to complete this ambitious project. This is also a crucial moment for the United States in ensuring the future of semiconductor manufacturing. These new manufacturing units are expected to add approximately $2.7 billion to Ohio's GDP and create nearly 20,000 job openings by supporting businesses in the Silicon Heartland ecosystem.
