You aren't going to find a worse place that Mars. How are you going to ship all that stuff to Mars? Also, IIRC there's tons of radiation.
Nobody moves their stuff underground or to the Arctics (or both), which are orders of magnitude cheaper than moving stuff to Mars.
We already go to great extents to get vibration free silicon fabs. These buildings cost billions of dollars, and need amongst other things a very very good acoustic environment (which you get almost free on mars), and good environmental controls (which you need anyways on mars). You aren't going to find a better place than mars. Further, on mars, you don't have to worry about natural disasters destroying your billions of dollars building.
