TSMC plans 28nm fab in Germany for a total investment of nearly €10 billion

        TSMC is planning to set up a joint venture with NXP Semiconductors, Robert Bosch and Infineon to build a wafer fab in Saxony, Germany, and TSMC's board of directors is likely to make an investment decision in August, sources said on May 4.
        The planned joint venture between TSMC, NXP, Bosch and Infineon will include state subsidies and has a budget of at least 7 billion euros, with total investment likely to be close to 10 billion euros, people familiar with the matter said. 
        TSMC is still evaluating the possibility of building a plant in Europe, spokeswoman Nina Kao said, without elaborating. Spokespeople for NXP, Bosch, Infineon and the German economy ministry declined to comment on the project. 
        Sources familiar with the matter said TSMC could approve the plant, which would focus on producing 28nm chips, as early as August. If built, it would be the company's first fab in the EU. 
        The EU passed a chip bill in April this year, looking to double its share of global semiconductor production by 2030, and with Germany seeking up to 40% in grants for similar projects, any national grants would need to be approved by the EU executive committee, and the TSMC alliance is understood to be in discussions with officials over the level of grants. In the case of TSMC's Japan plant, for example, the company and its partners are investing $8.6 billion in the plant, half of which will be funded by the government. 
        Infineon's semiconductor plant broke ground in Dresden, Saxony, on the 2nd, with production facilities for GlobalFoundries and Bosch also located in Dresden. Foundries are usually clustered together to take advantage of existing local infrastructure and staff. 
        Intel is moving faster, and will receive a €6.8 billion subsidy from the Berlin authorities to build a large wafer fab (or chip manufacturing plant) in the eastern German city of Maderburg, the largest foreign direct investment in Germany since the Second World War. Last month it was rumoured that Intel wanted the subsidy to be raised to at least 10 billion euros, citing rising energy and construction costs. German officials, for their part, said they could increase financial support, but only if Intel expanded its investment. 
        It is logical that if the scale of investment increases, the level of subsidies will also increase," said Schulze, the economy minister of Saxony-Anhalt, whose capital is Maderburg. We need to be mutually accommodating with Intel," said a German official.
