More efficient production
Innovative world first at chip professional Infineon
A world first from Infineon ensures significantly more efficient semiconductor production. Thanks to the use of gallium nitride as the basis, the diameter of the wafers and thus the production capacity could be significantly increased.
When it comes to research, Infineon in Villach is a world leader in the semiconductor industry. Villach also played a major role in the chip group's latest innovation. The wafers on which the semiconductor chips are normally produced have a diameter of 200 millimeters. Thanks to the use of gallium nitride, this is now possible on wafers with a diameter of 300 millimeters - a world first for Infineon.
"We are very proud to have reached a groundbreaking milestone. Our Villach team has made a significant contribution to this," emphasizes Thomas Reisinger, CEO of Infineon. "With this world first, we have once again proven that innovation is in our DNA."
The new technology enables significantly more efficient chip production. "The larger wafer diameter enables 2.3 times the amount of chips to be produced," explains Infineon. Significantly more chips on the new 300 millimeter wafer - a world first from Villach.
