Fab Construction Milestones

A dated log of semiconductor fab construction and ramp events — announcement, groundbreaking, equipment move-in, risk production, volume production — with schedule slips recorded as their own events rather than quietly overwriting the original plan.

How this is collected

Collected from foundry investor relations, company press releases, government filings and trade press. A schedule slip is recorded as its own dated delay event, so the original plan and the revision both remain visible.

Every row carries a source URL, a verbatim quote from that source, and a confidence tier. Readings that cannot be verified against a dated public source are dropped rather than estimated — a visible gap beats a wrong value. See data quality.
