Elon Musk says the output of a single Terafab building would rank within the top 20 of country GDPs. Per Korean outlet TheElec, Terafab is now in talks with Korean chip suppliers across nearly every category — from piping parts to process materials to test components — far beyond the previously known HPSP and Hanmi Semiconductor.
At SEMICON West in San Francisco, Terafab staff visited around 10 Korean booths on day one, including ENF Technology, Dongjin Semichem, Hanmi Semiconductor, Unisem and MiCo. Several companies have signed NDAs, one receiving it the same evening.
