TSMC to Build Multi-Billion-Euro Chip Factory in Germany

Berlin (GTAI) (ots)

Taiwanese semiconductor manufacturer TSMC plans to construct a massive new production facility in the eastern German city of Dresden.

The volume of its Dresden expansion will be at least EUR 10 billion. The new plant for 300-millimeter semiconductors will be located in the heart of the electronics hub often known as “Silicon Saxony.” The German government and the EU will reportedly offer major financial support for the project, pending EU approval.

The planned factory will have a monthly capacity of 40,000 wafers. Construction is scheduled to start in the second half of 2024, with the facility to go operational by the end of 2027. Bosch, Infineon and NXP are also participating in the project, with ten percent each.

The plant’s products will be aimed primarily at the European and German automotive and industrial sectors, said TSMC. The project follows upon similar expansions by German chipmaker Infineon in Dresden and US giant Intel in Magdeburg, also in eastern Germany.

“With TSMC’s investment, a further global player in the semiconductor industry is coming to Germany,” said Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Action Robert Habeck in a statement. “It shows that Germany is an attractive, competitive location, particularly for key technologies like microelectronics.”

Germany Trade & Invest (GTAI), the German government agency for international business promotion, was involved in the initial consultations that led to the TSMC expansion.

“Among the many advantages of Germany as a chipmaking location are its European-leading automotive industry and the availability of clean forms of energy, which will become increasingly important to international companies in the years to come,” says GTAI CEO Robert Hermann. “This new expansion is a fantastic contribution to Silicon Saxony and the German economy as a whole. It will surely stimulate further opportunities for international businesses in Europe’s largest economy.”

Germany Trade & Invest (GTAI) is the German government agency for international business promotion. It helps international companies set up shop in Germany and German companies do business abroad. It also promotes Germany in general as a business location.
