Montopolis Research Campus
For nearly four decades, the University of Texas at Austin Cockrell School of Engineering and the Texas Institute for Electronics (TIE) Montopolis Research Center have been at the forefront of industry collaboration, hosting leading partners such as Sematech. Today, the historic facility is evolving to meet the demands of next-generation semiconductor research and production.
Page’s cleanroom renovation pushes performance to new heights, transforming existing fabrication spaces into ISO 4 (Class 10) and ISO 5 (Class 100) environments. With a focus on process optimization, key infrastructure upgrades include Acid Waste Neutralization, Hydrogen Fluoride Waste Treatment, Ultra-Pure Water production, Gas and Chemical Distribution, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), and Toxic Gas Monitoring Systems (TGMS), Building Automation System (BAS), Clean Air Handling, and HVAC. These enhancements create a world-class research ecosystem designed for flexibility, scalability, and seamless took transitions.
This state-of-the-art fabrication facility—known as the Fab—will serve as a vital hub for the Texas Institute for Electronics (TIE), a powerhouse public-private partnership uniting the State of Texas, top semiconductor and defense electronics firms, national labs, and 13 academic institutions. This initiative restores leading-edge semiconductor manufacturing to U.S. soil, strengthens the supply chain, safeguards national security, and cultivates the next generation of industry pioneers.
Purpose-built to accelerate breakthroughs in semiconductor research and development (R&D) and 2.5D/3D semiconductor packaging, the project followed a fast-track delivery process. The reenvisioned Fab is equipped with the critical infrastructure needed to fuel discovery, innovation, and global leadership in advanced electronics.
