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]

Past Fab Sites
Fab 1
Opened in 1968 in Mountain View, California.

Fab 2
Opened in 1968 in Santa Clara, California.

Fab 3
The Intel Fab 3 building in Livermore, California on North Mines Road. The plant
opened in 1972 and began making wafers in April 1973. Fab 3 closed its doors in
1991. It was the first plant outside of the Santa Clara area, and is where the
famous Bunny Suits were first introduced.[7]

Fab 4
The Intel Fab 4 building was the first Intel wafer manufacturing plant outside of
Silicon Valley and the first Intel facility in what is now known as Oregon's
Silicon Forest. Located in Aloha, Oregon, production began in 1976 to process 3
inch wafers. The plant was decommissioned in 1996 and was later demolished in 2016.
[8]

Fab 5 / D1
The Intel Fab 5 building is located in Aloha, Oregon and was previously a
development and then production facility. Currently Fab 5 is inactive.[9]

Fab 6
The Intel Fab 6 was the first silicon wafer manufacturing facility in Arizona.
Located in Chandler, Ground breaking was in early 1980. Fab 6 was in operation from
1980 until 2000. Key architecture was the 286 microprocessor.

Fab 7
The Intel Fab 7 building is located in Rio Rancho, New Mexico. Production began in
1980 with a focus on flash memory chips and by the time production stopped in 2002
it was producing 0.35 micron-6 inch wafers. Later in 2005, $105 million was
invested to temporarily turn Fab 7 into a testing facility.[10]

Fab 8
The Intel Fab 8 facility is located in Jerusalem, Israel and was Intel's first Fab
outside of the United States. Production began in 1985 and ended in 2008 and at the
time was Intel's last 6 inch wafer fab. The building was then converted into a die
prep facility to support nearby Fab 28in 2009.[11]

Fab 9
The Intel Fab 9 facility is located in Rio Rancho, New Mexico and production began
in 1987. Eventually this facility was expanded to merge with Fab 11 in 1999.[12]

Fab 10 / IFO
Leixlip, Ireland

Fab 11
Rio Rancho, New Mexico

Fab 14
Leixlip, Ireland

Fab 15 / D1A
The Intel Fab 15 building is located in Aloha, Oregon. Previously it was a
development fab named D1A before construction began on D1B in 1994. Production
continued until 2003 when it was converted to an assembly and test facility.[13]

Fab 16
The Intel Fab 16 building was planned to open in Ft. Worth, Texas in 1999, but was
eventually cancelled in 2003.[14]

Fab 17
Hudson, Massachusetts[15]

Fab 20 / D1B
Hillsboro, Oregon

Fab 21
Rio Rancho, New Mexico[16]

Fab 22
Chandler, Arizona[17]

Fab 23
The Intel Fab 23 facility was located at Colorado Springs, Colorado. The site was
originally purchased from Rockwell International in 2000, but due to lack of demand
and financial reasons, Intel later put the site up for sale in 2007. The El Paso
County government then bought the site in 2011 after there were no offers made and
re-purposed the offices.[18]

D2
The Intel D2 building was located in Santa Clara, California and opened in 1989. It
was decommissioned in 2009 and then converted into a data center.[19]
