"Germany is proud to join #PaxSilica" according to the fb page of the German embassy. So proud that there is 0 news on it on the official website of the foreign affairs office or the German government. Very strange behaviour imho.

In welcher Fab in der EU lässt eigentlich die deutsche Automobilindustrie ihre Chips für das autonome Fahren fertigen? (rhetorische Frage) Samsung hat übrigens 6.4 Mrd. Förderung für seine Texas-Fab bekommen semiconductor.samsung.com/sas/local-ne... #automotive #semiconductor #Standortfaktoren

Eine (ergänzte) Karte zu den ausgewählten #Exzellenzcluster n - Verhältnis von Mietkosten zu Wohnpauschale beim Bafög....was fällt auf? Sollte man mE mal angehen, das Thema. Kurzfristig aber ganz klares Plädoyer für ein Studium in Jena, Leipzig, Bayreuth, Halle oder Dresden! #Chancengleichheit

Benedikt Ernst from #Merck makes an important point during ISS in Sopot "End-market pull is essential" Very relevant with regard to #InvestAI initiative.

Just scanned the list for items related to #semiconductors - see below. For the boxes, afaik, one of the providers is Entegris. www.entegris.com/en/home/abou... Looking at their locations, I would assume that what was shipped from the US now will be shipped from Asia, but it's a guess.

Frank Bösenberg @fboesenberg.bsky.social · 10/03/2025

The lack of an EU part in the outer circle (contrary to the objectives of the EU chips act) should be discussed more, also in context of #InvestAI. Intel capa in Irland seems to be missing, though.

When you love your job in the semiconductor industry so much that even your Christmas wishes are related... :) Extremely looking forward to this read!

There was also this chart during this year mentioning e.g. Okmetic in Finland, but I also don't find anything on it in the state aid database (means not too much as Infineon is also still waiting for approval)

Frank Bösenberg @fboesenberg.bsky.social · 19/12/2024

The Catania Invest was what I counted as Italy, did you find it in the EU database? However, I definitely forgot onsemi in CZ. Also Intel in IRL falls under ChipsAct according to this - also not listed in the State Aid database, though.

Weimar liegt übrigens in Thüringen. Nicht, dass das irgendwas besser machen würde. Aber die Frage war ernst gemeint. Vorurteil? Unkenntnis deutscher Geographie? In Thüringen wird auch nicht gesächselt, die haben eigene Dialekte.

Very intense and insightful day in #Kumamoto today. Kumamoto is home of Fab23 of TSMC/JASM. It also acts as a kind of mother fab for ESMC in Dresden.

Checking similarities and differences between JASM and ESMC... :) #Japan #BusinessTrip

Die Projektion der Kapazitäten in der EU geht nämlich noch von einem Werk für 2nm aus (siehe Abbildung). Damit kann eigentlich nur Intel gemeint sein. Selbst wenn die Ende 2025 noch anfangen zu bauen (ganz ausschließen möchte ich es nicht), wird das knapp. 3/x

On the list - a lot of microelectronics including related materials (gallium, gallium arsenide etc). Together with the export stop to the US today it means a de facto cut-off. (Which ofc will trigger related business outside China) 2/2

Just listened to the latest episode of @sicherheitspod.bsky.social . Great as always, but I strongly disagree with 1 statement by @carlomasala1.bsky.social about Elbridge Colby not caring about Taiwan.(30:41 in the podcast) It is VERY interesting/relevant. The reason is TSMC, i.e. semiconductors.

screenshot on a retweet by elbridge colby agreeing with seth moulton who said "we should make it very clear to the Chinese, if you invade Taiwan, we will blow up TSMC"

Overview on the status of Pillar 1 actions of the #EUChipsAct (#Chips for #Europe initiative), which mostly is related to R&D activities (contrary to fab investment related pillar 2). ChipsCompetenceCenters (CCCs) selected last week. Will provide further updates on this. #semiconductors

Picture shows a speaker presenting a PowerPoint slide with 5 activities within pillar 1 - pilot lines, CCCs, Design platform, quantum chips and Chips Fund.
