The following is a list of Intel's manufacturing and assembly/test sites. Processors are manufactured in semiconductor fabrication plants ("fabs") which are then sent to assembly and testing sites before delivery to customers. Approximately 75% of Intel's semiconductor fabrication is performed in the USA.[1]
Current fab sites[edit]

Intel Ocotillo campus in Chandler, Arizona, USA

Intel Ronler Acres in Hillsboro, Oregon, USA

Past fab sites[edit]
Fab name | Fab location | Opened | Closed | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
Fab 1 | ![]() |
1968 | 1981 | Formerly located at 365 East Middlefield Road.[12] |
Fab 2 | ![]() |
1968 | 2009 | Located in building SC1, at the corner of Bowers Ave. and Central Expressway[13] |
Fab 1A | ![]() |
1980 | 1991 | Located on Mission College Boulevard |
Fab 3 | ![]() |
1972 | 1991 | Plant began making wafers in April 1973. First plant outside of the Santa Clara area, and is where the famous Bunny Suits were first introduced.[14] Located on North Mines Road. |
Fab 4 | ![]() |
1976 | 1996 (decommissioned) 2016 (demolished) |
First wafer manufacturing plant outside of Silicon Valley and first facility in what is now known as Oregon's Silicon Forest. Production began for 3-inch wafers.[15] |
Fab 5 / D1 | ![]() |
Previously a development facility, then production facility. Currently inactive.[16] | ||
Fab 6 | ![]() |
1980 | 2000 | First silicon wafer manufacturing facility in Arizona. Key architecture was the 286 microprocessor. |
Fab 7 | ![]() |
1980 | 2002 2005 (converted to test facility) |
Production focused on flash memory chips. By the time production stopped, plant was producing 0.35 micron-6 inch wafers. In 2005, $105 million was invested to temporarily turn Fab 7 into a testing facility.[17] |
Fab 8 | ![]() |
1985 | 2008 2009 (converted to die prep facility) |
First Fab outside of the United States. Ended production with, what was at the time, the last 6-inch wafer fab. Building was converted into die prep facility to support nearby Fab 28.[18] |
Fab 9 | ![]() |
1987 | Facility eventually expanded to merge with Fab 11 in 1999.[19] | |
D2 | ![]() |
1989 | 2009 (decommissioned) | After being decommissioned, was converted into a data center.[20] |
Fab 10 / IFO | ![]() |

Fab 11 | ![]() |
(see Notes for Fab 9) | ||
Fab 14 | ![]() |
|||
Fab 15 / D1A | ![]() |
2003 (converted to assembly / test) | Previously a development Fab named D1A before construction began on D1B in 1994.[21] | |
Fab 16 | ![]() |
(never opened) | 2003 (cancelled) | Planned to open in Ft. Worth, Texas in 1999, but was eventually cancelled in 2003.[22] |
Fab 17 | ![]() |
1998 (acquired from DEC) | 2014 | Facility used older technology and closed (along with Fab 11X) because site was not large enough to accommodate a leading-edge fab. Made specialty products on the trailing edge of chip technology, and was last to make chips on 200-millimeter silicon wafers.[23] |
Fab 20 / D1B | ![]() |
|||
Fab 23 | ![]() |
2000 (acquired from Rockwell) | 2007 | Site originally purchased from Rockwell, but due to lack of demand and for financial reasons, Intel put it up for sale in 2007. It eventually sold in 2011 to the El Paso County government, who repurposed the offices.[24] |
Fab 68 | ![]() |
2010/2016 | 2021 | 3DNAND, 3DXPoint[25][26] fab that was sold to SK Hynix[27] |
