The fab will be owned and operated by a subsidiary company, European Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (ESMC) in which TSMC will have a 70% share and Infineon, NXP and Bosch will each have a 10% share. It is TSMC’s first European plant,
The fab will have a capacity of 40,000 300mm wpm. It is due to open in 2027.
Nothing was said today about the amount of subsidy being put up by the German government but it has previously been reported as €5 billion which would mean Germany is paying for half the $11 billion cost of the fab.
