Samsung Austin Semiconductor — Taylor Fab, Texas
Overview
TYPE3’s map data identifies Samsung Austin Semiconductor - Taylor Fab as a semiconductor fab in Williamson County, with city precision, coordinates 30.5707, -97.4092, Construction status, a 2021 announced field, a 2026 operational field, and a 200 MW seed estimate. Its note cites investment reports in a $17–40 billion range, temporary occupancy and EUV testing claims, and about 1,800 first-decade jobs, and it explicitly qualifies the power figure as unconfirmed. Those production and investment facts are not electrical demand.
Samsung’s 2021 announcement placed groundbreaking in the first half of 2022 and originally targeted operations in the second half of 2024. Samsung Austin Semiconductor’s June 2026 economic-impact release said the company aims to establish the Taylor fab using EUV technology to produce 2-nanometer chips and expected the site to be operational by the end of 2026; it also said significant campus operations began in the fourth quarter of 2025 with the office building opening. Local reporting in September 2026 still scheduled the first fabrication unit for year-end operations and treated Fab 2 as unscheduled, while Samsung’s second-quarter 2026 commentary described preparing Fab 2 construction by year-end with mass production targeted in 2030.
Keep Taylor separate from the Austin campus at 12100 Samsung Boulevard, which Samsung describes as two operating fabs dating to 1996 and 2007. Do not convert investment, wafer starts, node labels, or job counts into load, and do not treat a 2026 operations target as proof of full production. TYPE3’s 200 MW estimate remains unconfirmed.
Questions
Is the Taylor fab the same site as Samsung Austin?
No. Taylor is a separate Williamson County campus. Samsung’s Austin fabs on Parmer Lane remain a distinct operating site.
Is Taylor operating today?
TYPE3’s map data still lists Construction. Samsung and local reporting in 2026 describe a year-end operations target for the first fab, not a fully ramped plant.
Does 200 MW represent Taylor’s electrical demand?
No. TYPE3’s map data labels 200 MW an unconfirmed estimate, and reviewed sources do not verify current site demand.
