Mikroelektronik: Halbleiterproduzent Vishay kündigt Großinvestition an
Millionenschwere Investition in Schleswig-Holstein: Halbleiterproduzent Vishay wird künftig deutlich größere Wafer in Itzehoe produzieren.
Vishay, a semiconductor producer based in Itzehoe, Schleswig-Holstein, has announced a substantial investment in its production facility. The exact amount was not disclosed, but according to Andreas Hein, a spokesperson for the CDU-Landtagsfraktion, the investment is estimated to be around one billion euros. Schleswig-Holstein's Minister for Economic Affairs, Claus Ruhe Madsen (CDU), presented a grant of approximately 215 million euros for the site in Itzehoe.
The US-based company's subsidiary will manufacture 300-millimeter diameter semiconductor wafers in a new factory. Despite automated production processes, the company expects to create up to 250 new jobs. These wafers, made of silicon, are used to manufacture chips and semiconductor components. Currently, Vishay produces conventional 200-millimeter wafers in Itzehoe.
The advantage of producing larger wafers is that more chips and components can be produced per wafer.
