Intel starts tool installation at Arizona’s Fab 62
Intel has begun installing manufacturing tools at Fab 62 in Arizona, with operations expected by the end of 2028. The plant will be the sixth volume manufacturing fab at the company’s Ocotillo campus.
Naga Chandrasekaran, executive vice president and chief technology and operations officer of Intel Foundry, confirmed that construction and tool installation are underway. He also reported the installation of the first major structural truss on the first fab at Intel’s Ohio One site in New Albany.
Oregon houses advanced logic research and development; Arizona also carries out packaging research, assembly and test; New Mexico manufactures advanced packaging at scale. Intel’s 18A process, combining RibbonFET transistors and PowerVia backside power delivery, entered volume manufacturing in 2025.
