What semiconductors are we talking about? Just big volume computer CPUs/GPUs? Then yes, intel is the only one left.
Big boys like Maxim, Marvel, Broadcom, Qualcomm, nVidia, AMD, Ti[1] don't have their own fabs.
What about memory? Samsung, Hynix, Micron all do their own stuff.
Analog ICs? National, Ti[1], NXP, Skyworks, ONsemi, ST, to name a few.
[1] Ti got rid of their fabs years ago to switch to TSMC but over the years they acquired a few companies small than them that have their own fabs. Those divisions still use them for fabbing those products.
- BostonEnginerd 5y agoTI has a bunch of fabs in Dallas, Maine, Germany, Japan and China. Most of the Dallas fabs have been part of TI since the beginning - some since the 1970s. They're building a new 300mm fab north of Dallas, and just acquired the Intel / Micron JV fab in Lodi Utah. They got out of the advanced logic game a while ago, and closed down one of their R&D fabs in ~2007. National was acquired by TI ~8yr ago.
