Germany is investing €5 billion in a new semiconductor manufacturing facility in Dresden through the European Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (ESMC) initiative. The facility will leverage advanced technologies like FinFET and aims to reduce Europe’s dependence on U.S. and Chinese semiconductor imports. This strategic move promises to enhance Germany’s role in the global semiconductor industry.
With a hefty $6.6 billion subsidy by the U.S. government, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC) embarks on an unprecedented development in semiconductor industry. This boost is not only expected to foster job creation with an estimate of up to 6,000 high-tech positions but also promises to democratize access to advanced technologies.
