Bosch to pour additional €400 million euros into chipmaking | DW News

[@jadoei13]

Thanks Bosch, I'll buy a my next power tool from you guys if I need one

[@ac4633]

Not one tool is produced on Germany ! All are produce in PRC! Shame on europe and bosch

[@no-sparks]

That's only true for the American market not Europe, my Bosch biturbo was made in Germany, but super tools they are

[@MetallicReg]

@@no-sparks Yep - European and US markets are separate.

[@saleemcarr9501]

400 million is pennies in that industry

[@karamany9870]

Bosch probably does automotive chips.

[@antman7673]

No, it is still a lot of money. With all the billions floating around, it is easy to loose scope, but 400 millions is still a lot.

[@eljanrimsa5843]

It's perhaps a political investment to get involved in EU projects to ramp up domestic chip production.

[@DataEntity]

@@karamany9870 That is - along side home appliance chips - Bosch's wheelhouse, pun gratuously intended.

[@domoooo]

400 million euros in the semicon industry is almost Dr.Evil's million dollars back in Austin Powers' movie

[@guest-fShSfn8Fdg35XV2fbJ]

A 5nm chipmaking plant in Arizona needs $12 billion. €400 million is small in this industry. But it's good to on you own.

[@VolkerHett]

They are concentrating on integrated circuits for power electronics, so far bigger structures than 5nm. P.S.: Silicium Carbide MOSFET and MEMS sensors and things based on those.

[@icephoenix5466]

so they investested in 2 month 1,5 billion I wouldn't call it nothing if you consider the way eu is handling chip making (airbus like concept)

[@gothenmosph5151]

It's not high end foundry nor is it brand new. What do you expect?

[@keith6371]

400 million for chip production is a joke. When I did my intern 20 years ago in a now defunct semi fab in LA, one single machine costs 12million, a regular production line has 20 such machines for one step, and normal line has 100plus steps.

[@jansix4287]

20 years ago is *BEFORE* the iPhone! 😆

Type and model... certainly not the same 😂.Great they focused on their demand and not in USA decades ago.

[@cooltwittertag]

A clear sign that you have no clue about the subject. You realize that bleeding edge process nodes are not part of the Bosch portfolio? They produce very mature and cheap nodes which are used in cars and household appliances. If anything your comment shows that you don't have much indepth knowledge of the industry.

Good. Invest in Germany, not China

[@KJSvitko]

Companies have off shored too much manufacturing to China. The problems with PPE for virus protection should have been a wake up call. Countries need to encourage more domestic production for their own needs.

[@东皇太一-k7y]

most chip does not produced in mainland china ....99% high tech chip comes from the South Korea ,usa and the region of Taiwan......

[@nutzeeer]

1:11 ugh

[@enginerd80]

"These investments couldn't come at a better time." Well, if they had invested earlier, they could be now selling as much as they can produce. I'm sure Bosch is not the only company that is and has been for a while working on to fix the chip shortage problem. Once every company's upgrade projects will be finished, the result might be an oversupply of chips. But diversifying production outside China, where a great majority of electronics products has been manufactured for years, is a good thing. Generally having all the eggs in the same basket is risky, and lately especially China has started to become more risky.

[@anitanance5000]

Thought was talking about Casino Chips😂

[@buddy1155]

Bosch will put $400 million in casino chips and put everything on red.

[@aydanaliev5723]

This just a chip in a pateto field. Eu still far behind but catching up

[@williamlai29]

Of all the states in Malaysia they choose Penang?! Why? Landmass wise that place is not big enough for manufacturing.

[@monkeybusiness2204]

Because Penang already has supply chain for chip making.

[@pineapplesareyummy6352]

I don't think you need that much space for semiconductor manufacturing, and you can always reclaim land from the sea. It would make sense not to concentrate even more investments and capital in Kuala Lumpur. Maybe Johor Mahru makes more sense because of proximity to Singapore. But the Penang area isn't bad either. Where else would you put it besides these three spots?

[@williamlai29]

@@pineapplesareyummy6352 How bout Selangor?? It is just beside KL, supply chain can be relink, and you have no worry on how stable the reclaim land from sea are. On the plus side, talent like engineer or programmers are gather in KL. In overall it makes it a more reasonable candidate??

[@williamlai29]

@@pineapplesareyummy6352 Let's not forget we are talking about manufacturing semiconductor enough to supply to the rest of the world! So size does matter.

[@pineapplesareyummy6352]

​@@williamlai29 Malaysia can have a slice of the global market, but Malaysia with a population of just over 30 million isn't going to "supply to the rest of the world". The only country that is likely to do that is China, with its supply chains, political will, large pool of qualified engineers, market size, etc. But the world market is 7.8 billion, so obviously Malaysia can take a slice of that.

[@shub74]

400 million € is nothing

The world is developing new technology of carbon-based chips, POTATO CHIPS. Chips produced with carbon-based materials are faster in processing data and more energy-efficient. The materials can also be used in numerous fields such as weather monitoring, artificial intelligence and medical equipment.
