X-FAB bygger nye renrums-faciliteter
X-FAB's kommende Fab4Micro i Erfurt i Tyskland skal etablere et nyt fundament for industriskala produktion af højt integrerede mikrosystemer og fotonik-løsninger (in english).
Joined by representatives from government, industry, and academia X-Fab has just breaked ground on a new cleanroom at its Erfurt site. Through the Fab4Micro project, X-FAB MEMS Foundry GmbH is expanding its manufacturing capacity for highly integrated microsystems and photonics, thereby continuing the transition of the Erfurt site into X-FAB Group’s microsystems hub.
The new facility is intended to support growing demand from the automotive, industrial, and medical end markets while also making an important contribution to strengthening Europe’s sovereignty in semiconductor technology.
The Fab4Micro project is receiving a total of Euro 127.4 million in funding from the German federal government and the Free State of Thuringia under the EU Chips Act.
- Today’s groundbreaking ceremony marks an important milestone for X-FAB and underscores our long-term commitment to innovation, growth, and supporting our customers worldwide, said Dr. Gabriel Kittler, CEO of the Erfurt site.
X-FAB is a global foundry group providing a comprehensive set of specialty technologies and design IP to enable its customers to develop world-leading semiconductor products that are manufactured at X-FAB's six wafer fabs located in Malaysia, Germany, France, and the United States.
With its expertise in analog/mixed-signal technologies, microsystems, photonics, and wide bandgap products, X-FAB is the development and manufacturing partner for its customers, primarily serving the automotive, industrial and medical end markets. X-FAB has approximately 4,000 employees and has been listed on Euronext Paris since April 2017.
