About Texoma Semiconductor Tech Hub

The Texoma Semiconductor Tech Hub, led by Southern Methodist University, seeks to unify existing and planned semiconductor supply chain infrastructure by enhancing regional collaboration and uplifting underserved communities through workforce expansion. Leveraging its central location and robust transportation network, this Tech Hub offers a semiconductor manufacturing model that geographically consolidates the semiconductor manufacturing supply chain from wafers to products. By deploying a geographically-distributed “fablet” model—building targeted, accessible labs for electronic design, semiconductor manufacturing, packaging, and testing—the Texoma Semiconductor Tech Hub will foster a consolidated semiconductor innovation ecosystem with supply chain resilience and workforce opportunities.

Problem statement

The Texoma Semiconductor Tech Hub aims to address critical gaps in the semiconductor supply chain and workforce development by consolidating regional manufacturing capabilities and expanding equitable access to training and resources. Despite its central location and existing infrastructure, the Texoma region faces challenges in unifying semiconductor manufacturing processes and providing inclusive workforce opportunities. The region lacks a comprehensive model that integrates electronic design, semiconductor manufacturing, packaging, and testing into a single, resilient ecosystem. Additionally, underserved communities, including rural and Tribal areas, have limited access to semiconductor training and technological resources. The Texoma Semiconductor Tech Hub seeks to overcome these challenges by creating a geographically-distributed innovation network, fostering regional collaboration, and implementing targeted workforce development programs to elevate the Texoma region as a global leader in semiconductor technology.
