ESMC’s Post

Exciting news on esmc semiconductor ecosystem coming to Europe.

Yesterday, our joint venture "ESMC", together with TSMC, Infineon Technologies, and NXP Semiconductors held a groundbreaking ceremony to officially mark the initial phase of land preparation for our first semiconductor fab in Dresden, Germany. 🤝 💬 "The ESMC wafer fab is to be built right next door to our own Bosch wafer fab in Dresden. So now we will be able to watch it emerge and grow with our own eyes. We're looking forward to that, just as we are to collaborating closely with our partners TSMC, Infineon, and NXP. Together, we will take Europe a decisive step forward in a key industry and ensure that advanced chips are available for industrial enterprises here," says Bosch chairman Stefan Hartung.

🌟 It's official! 🌟 The Chips Joint Undertaking today announced the successful evaluation of four ground-breaking #semiconductor pilot line proposals. With negotiations already underway with four top-tier consortia, the anticipation is building for the final agreements to be inked later in the year. The respective consortia are led by imec, CEA-Leti, Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft/ FMD - Forschungsfabrik Mikroelektronik Deutschland and Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR) in #Belgium, #France, #Germany and #Italy respectively and include several more countries as partners. The funding (in total appr. 3,4 bn EUR), stemming from the Horizon Europe and Digital Europe Programme as well as from national contributions, marks a significant investment in the future of Europe's technological infrastructure. Kari J. Leino , the Chair of the Chips JU Public Authorities Board, captured the essence of this development, highlighting it as a critical step forward for the semiconductor industry in Europe. Meanwhile, Jari Kinaret, the Executive Director of Chips JU, shared his excitement about the potential these pilot lines have to revolutionize the industry, emphasizing the importance of collaboration and innovation in driving Europe's progress and excellence in this field. What stands out is the initiative's alignment with the "Chips for Europe Initiative," underscoring a strategic move to enhance technological capacity and foster innovation at a grand scale. The collaborative spirit and innovative drive behind this initiative are truly inspiring, marking a significant leap toward a more resilient and competitive technological future for Europe. Congrats to all involved!

The European Semiconductor Regions Alliance (ESRA) just held its inaugural annual meeting. ESRA was founded last year with the aim of strengthening Europe's position as a leading location for the semiconductor industry. 🌍 The association consists of 31 European member regions, including Baden-Württemberg, Hamburg, Hessen, Lower Saxony, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Saarland, Schleswig-Holstein and Thuringia from Germany together with Bavaria. ESRA is pursuing ambitious goals: Long-term promotion of the European semiconductor industry, intensification of research and development and creation of suitable framework conditions along the entire value chain. Bavaria, one of Europe's leading locations for microelectronics, benefits considerably from these synergy effects. 📈 As a founding member of ESRA, Bavaria plays a key role in the semiconductor industry. The RISC-V Summit, which recently took place in Munich for the first time, highlights Bavaria as a strong European centre for the semiconductor industry. In addition, the industry in Bavaria is specifically supported by measures such as the Bavarian Semiconductor Initiative and the Bavarian Chips Alliance, which strengthen the competitiveness and innovative power of Bavaria as a business location.🤝 More about the semiconductor industry in Bavaria: https://lnkd.in/eZd6GCkF THE LÄND, Baden-Württemberg International (BW_i), Fair Trade Stadt Hamburg, Hessen Trade & Invest GmbH, Land Niedersachsen, Freistaat Sachsen, Wirtschaftsförderung Sachsen GmbH, Investitions- und Marketinggesellschaft Sachsen-Anhalt mbH, Saarland, Land Schleswig-Holstein, Invest in Thuringia #successinbavaria #crossindustryinnovation #semiconductor #chipdesign #microelectronics

A few months ago, I posted about the groundbreaking ceremony of the new ESMC wafer fab in Dresden. Last week, TSMC and the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action announced the start of the federal funding program for this joint venture. This is great news for the semiconductor industry in Germany and Europe – and here’s why: ➡️ The reliable availability of semiconductors is of great importance for economic success and especially crucial for the automotive industry. With this project, we will further secure our regional and global supply chains. ➡️ By working closely with our partners TSMC, Infineon Technologies, and NXP Semiconductors, we will strengthen the local semiconductor ecosystem. As a nice side effect for Bosch, this will also benefit our own wafer fab in Dresden in direct vicinity of ESMC. ➡️ The production in the 300 mm ESMC fab is scheduled to begin by the end of 2027. Focus is on technology nodes 12-28 nm. Stay tuned for more ESMC and other semiconductor news! 👉 Link to press release (only available in German): https://lnkd.in/eXSFVrTY #semiconductors #esmc #mobility #siliconsaxony
