Material inputs to resolve
Analog and embedded semiconductors, 300mm fabs and internal manufacturing capacity
Texas Instruments 2025 Annual Report covers its analog and embedded-processing business and manufacturing strategy. TI says its environmental program manages materials and chemicals, and reports that water-reduction projects implemented in 2024 saved an annualized amount equal to 3.5% of 2023 usage. Public sources do not establish one fab-level mass balance for water, chemical recovery, wafer scrap and product output.
2025 Annual report and manufacturing disclosure
Analog and embedded Core product platforms
300mm High-volume wafer manufacturing platform
3.5% Annualized water savings from 2024 projects
- Silicon wafers, photoresists, specialty gases, acids, bases, solvents, metals and packaging inputs
- Ultrapure water, electricity, natural gas and cleanroom consumables
- Reclaimed water and recovered process materials where qualified
Outputs and residuals to resolve
- Analog and embedded semiconductors, wafers, packages and test output
- Wastewater, spent chemicals, wafer scrap, gases, packaging and cleanroom waste
- Fab-level recovery yield and customer-product allocation remain open
First decision: Select one 300mm fab and one process family. Map water, chemicals, gases, wafer scrap, packaging, reuse, recovery and yield in a single operating record.
Control
Texas Instruments Incorporated is an analog and embedded-processing semiconductor company.
Manufacturing wedge
TI's 300mm wafer strategy creates a clear site-level operating context for water, chemistry and yield.
Water signal
TI reports that its water reuse rate rose from 31% to 35% in 2025 as 300mm production ramped in Utah and Texas.
Evidence boundary
The public water program is useful context. One fab-level material ledger still needs qualification.
Decision boundary
The public record supports one bounded next move: Select one 300mm fab and one process family. Map water, chemicals, gases, wafer scrap, packaging, reuse, recovery and yield in a single operating record. It does not establish a buyer, commercial approval or supply agreement.
Material flow map
| Material or stream | Qualification gate | Process or destination | Evidence still needed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultrapure water | Purity, reuse, discharge and site risk | 300mm fab process | Withdrawal, reuse and product boundary |
| Process chemicals | Composition, safety, abatement and recovery | Wafer fabrication | TDS, recovery yield and destination |
| Wafer and packaging scrap | Defect class, contamination and sorting | Recovery or disposal | Volume, route and recovered-material evidence |
This is a public screening map. It separates company-disclosed flows from open qualification work. It does not convert a destination into a buyer or an announced ambition into operating capacity.
Three defensible entry lanes
Turn the water project into a fab decision
A company-level percentage becomes useful when tied to a process, equipment change and measured outcome.
Next evidence: Name fab, process, project, baseline, saved volume and reporting boundary.
Qualify chemical recovery with EHS first
Recovery is not automatically a good idea in a semiconductor process. Purity, safety and reliability decide.
Next evidence: Map input chemistry, recovery unit, quality test, reuse point and residual route.
Connect 300mm yield to material efficiency
Higher yield can reduce material demand without changing the customer specification.
Next evidence: Join wafer starts, defect classes, process inputs, scrap and product output for one line.

Source hierarchy: filings and company disclosures first. The brief states what those sources support and leaves the unresolved plant, grade, permit, buyer and mass-balance questions explicit.
Material Transition editorial interpretation
Texas Instruments has an unusually concrete materials-transition opening: 300mm wafer manufacturing, water-reduction projects, process chemicals and internal capacity. The first lane is one fab where water, chemistry, scrap and product yield can be managed as one operating system. The next useful working session starts with: Select one 300mm fab and one process family. Map water, chemicals, gases, wafer scrap, packaging, reuse, recovery and yield in a single operating record.
