By the end of 2024, Infineon hopes to begin SiC production at the Kulim 3 fab module, which will formally open in August. The Malaysian government’s $100 billion ambition to increase chip manufacture in the nation revolves upon the fab.
Installing the production tools for the SiC lines and designing the fab gas to accommodate newer tool kinds, volumes, and structural requirements will provide for flexibility.
The competition to become the largest 200mm SiC fab in the world is between Infineon and Wolfspeed, even though neither company can produce the anticipated capacity.
In August 2023, Infineon Technologies said that it would go above and beyond the first investment that it had disclosed in February 2022 and take additional steps to reshape the industry by greatly expanding its Kulim fab.
The business revealed its plans to construct the biggest 200mm SiC (silicon carbide) Power Fab in the world. The German chip major will further spend up to €5 billion in Kulim over the course of the following five years for a second phase of module 3 building.
ST’s objective of a completely vertically integrated manufacturing facility for the mass production of SiC on one site will be realized when these facilities are combined with the SiC substrate manufacturing facility that is being prepared on the same location to establish ST’s Silicon Carbide Campus
