GlobalWafers and its subsidiary MEMC are to get $400 million in subsidies from the US Chips Act to build a 300mm silicon wafer manufacturing facility in Sherman, Texas and build a new facility to produce 300mm SOI wafers in Peters, Missouri.
GlobalWafers will also convert a portion of its existing silicon epitaxy wafer manufacturing facility in Sherman, Texas to SiC epitaxy wafer manufacturing, producing 150mm and 200mm SiC epitaxy wafers.
Supporting the development of a local workforce in Texas, GlobalWafers is a member of the Southern Methodist University-led Texoma Tech Hub and is involved in the North Texas Semiconductor Workforce Development Consortium led by the University of Texas Dallas.
GlobalWafers is also part of an innovative partnership with Sherman High School, Denison High School, and Grayson College to establish an electronics lab at the schools that provides targeted training toward technician certifications required for new hires in the semiconductor industry. In St. Peters,
MEMC is likewise developing an apprenticeship program for Maintenance Technicians with the National Institute for Industry and Career Advancement (NIICA) and local high schools.
Further, MEMC is collaborating with St. Charles Community College on a program named MegaTech, which supports dual-enrolled high school students as they step into careers involving advanced manufacturing and automation.
