The Global Wane Giant TSMC has agreed to invest 3.5 billion euros (about S $ 5.1 billion) to set up factories in eastern Germany, with the goal of being put into production in 2027.This will be TSMC's first wafer fab in European countries.
Comprehensive Bloomberg, Reuters, and Central News Agency reported that TSMC held a board of directors on Tuesday (August 8) to approve the four important proposals. One of them was agreed to co -operate with Robert Bosch, Yingfei Ling and Enshow.Investment in European Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (ESMC), which is located in Germany, has established a 12 -inch wafer fab to provide advanced semiconductor manufacturing services.
TSMC said that TSMC will hold 70%of the wafer fab, and Robert Bosch, Yingfei and NXP each hold 10%of the shares.The factory plans to start construction in the second half of 2024, and put it into production in 2027. It supports the future production capacity of rapid growth in the automotive and industrial market. It is expected that about 2,000 high -tech professional work opportunities will be created.
TSMC pointed out that with the strong support of the EU and the German governments through equity injection, debt borrowing, and the strong support of the EU and the German governments, the total investment amount of this wafer plant is estimated to exceed 10 billion euros.TSMC's board of directors has approved ESMC, a German subsidiary, which invests in the main shares of the major shares within no more than 3.4993 million euros, provides professional accumulated circuit manufacturing services.
TSMC said that the above plan was formulated in accordance with the European chip bill (the European chip bill, and the final investment case was finalized after the German government's subsidy level was confirmed.
In order to echo the strategy of diversified semiconductor supply chain, TSMC currently has two wafer factories in the United States and Japan, and German factories will be the first factory established by TSMC in Europe.
The German government has been striving for TSMC to set up factories since 2021. TSMC announced that it was also another success in the ruling league led by German Prime Minister Tsugs.Intel announced that it would invest 30 billion euros in mid -June this year to establish two chip manufacturers in Germany.
Souls said that Germany is now likely to become the main place for European semiconductor production, which is essential for the elasticity of semiconductor production structures around the world.Bloomberg reports that the German government will provide a subsidy of up to 5 billion euros for the Dresden Wores.
