The Top 5 Semiconductor Companies in Texas, USA

Texas is frequently viewed as the home of the semiconductor. Much of its development happened in the American state, and it is where the majority of US semiconductor companies are based today. There are now more than 200 semiconductor businesses based in Texas, working across manufacturing, testing, and distribution. Let’s have a look at some of the leaders in the field.

The Five Leading Semiconductor Companies in Texas Today

1. Texas Instruments

Based in Dallas, Texas Instruments has been in business for more than 90 years, and currently employs more than 10,000 people. As a global semiconductor company, its remit is immense, designing, manufacturing, testing, and selling analogue and embedded processing chips. With a focus on producing products that support enhanced energy efficiency in the tech they’re deployed in. Texas Instruments is also active in data sensing and transmission, and core control and processing.

2. Anora Labs

Despite the fact that Anora Labs doesn’t produce semiconductors, it remains one of the most important companies in the industry in Texas. Why? Because of its world-class test and testability solutions for the sector. Offering an array of services, including pre-silicon design and post-silicon testing, the lab has become an integral part of the Texan semiconductor infrastructure. Thanks, in part, to its ability to offer customised and cost-optimised testing solutions. Although based in Richardson, Anora Labs has a global presence.

3. Krypton Solutions

Founded in 2005, Krypton Solutions is newer than many in the industry. However, its full-service design, prototyping, and low/medium volume turn-key manufacturing services have secured its position of influence within the industry. Working across a variety of fields, including robotics, medical products, automotive, AI, and electronics, the company has worked with some of the industry’s biggest players. Including Texas Instruments. And although the company’s Plano headquarters only boasts a modest staff, its production facilities in California and Bangalore are extensive.

4. VLSIP Technologies, Inc.

VLSIP Technologies is another company offering core services to the semiconductor industry. Providing design and layout, interconnection technologies, volume production, prototype assembly, simulations, and semiconductor back-end testing and failure analysis, VLSIP has built a broad customer base, serving numerous markets. Including communications, government, and medical devices. Based in Richardson, VLSIP was launched in 1984.

5. Syndiant Inc

Syndiant is a little more niche than the other businesses on this list. Based in Dallas, the company produces the world's smallest and highest resolution light modulating chips. The brand’s solutions are intended for wearable near-eye displays, pico projectors, and similar, and they are outstripping every other business in the field. The company is based in Dallas.

Texas is a hotbed of semiconductor activity right now. It has been for more than 50 years. So, if you have the skills and are interested in experiencing life overseas, Texas could provide the opportunity for you to make the move.
