Hell, the semiconductor industry is what brought my family out to Arizona in 1993. My dad was transferred as a packaging engineer for Olin Chemical when they opened their high purity doping chemicals plant in Mesa, Arizona. At the time, I believe they were supplying to Motorola which eventually became On Semiconductor and Freescale/NXP. Oh, and Intel has had a fab in Chandler since 1980, and the massive Fab 12 site since 1996. And they're building two new fabs for $20B. If there's literally anywhere in the US equipped for the semiconductor supply chain... it's here in Arizona.
