Recently, Infineon , Renesas , Texas Instruments, Rapidus and other chip giants have started to build new wafer plants, the industry estimates that the four major companies in the production expansion of the amount of 25 billion dollars.   Infineon: 5 billion euros to build a factory in Germany, the largest single investment in history   On Feb. 16, Infineon said it had received approval to build a 5 billion euro ($5.35 billion) chip plant in Dresden,  Germany, scheduled to start production in 2026 . Infineon said it would be the largest single investment in its history and was expected to create about 1,000 jobs. The company is seeking 1 billion euros in public funds for the project.   Infineon also said the planned plant, which will produce power semiconductors and analog/mixed-signal components, would generate roughly the same annual revenue as the investment at full capacity.   The German economy ministry approved early projects for the plant, allowing Infineon to start constructio

 Following the suspension of MCU orders by ELAN , Holtek Semiconductor issued a notice on 21st April suspending orders with immediate effect. The price of various semiconductors, especially MCUs, has risen as a result of factors such as the tightness of 8-inch wafer foundries. The demand for MCUs is so high that many major MCU manufacturers at home and abroad are operating at full capacity, but supply still exceeds demand. In its notice, Holtek  Semiconductor stated that Suspension of orders for 2022 Subject: Orders with delivery dates in 2022 are suspended with immediate effect.   Description: 1. The wafer fabs and packaging houses have advised that there will be another wave of price increases soon - price increases of 15%-30%. 2. The fabs are expected to provide 2022 production numbers by early May and will announce 2022 order acceptance rules when confirmed.   3. expected to resume accepting orders for 2022 by mid-May. 4. 2022 orders that have received deposits will be rescheduled
