Industrie: Halbleiterproduzent Vishay kündigt Großinvestition an
250 neue Arbeitsplätze und eine millionenschwere Investition in Schleswig-Holstein: Der Halbleiterproduzent Vishay wird künftig deutlich größere Wafer in Itzehoe produzieren.
Hamburg based semiconductor manufacturer Vishay has announced a large investment in its production facility in Schleswig-Holstein. The exact amount was not disclosed, but according to a CDU parliamentary spokesperson, Andreas Hein, it is approximately one billion euros. Schleswig-Holstein's Economic Minister, Claus Ruhe Madsen (CDU), presented a grant of about 215 million euros for the site in Itzehoe.
The German subsidiary of the US manufacturer will produce semiconductor wafers with a diameter of 300 millimeters in a new factory. Despite automated production processes, the company expects to create up to 250 new jobs. The wafer, made of silicon, is used to produce chips and semiconductor components. Vishay has been producing conventional 200-millimeter wafers in Itzehoe so far.
The advantage of producing larger wafers is that more chips and components can be made from each wafer. More: The Price of the Cheap Hunt: Europe is Losing Electronics.
