About us
European Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (ESMC) is a joint venture between TSMC, Bosch, Infineon and NXP to establish an advanced semiconductor fab in Dresden, Saxony, Germany. It marks a significant step towards supporting the future capacity needs of the fast-growing automotive, industrial and IoT market sectors in Europe. ESMC will initially focus on producing 16/12nm FinFET as well as planar CMOS technology nodes at 28/22nm. It will develop technology variants with a special focus on innovative differentiating technologies like automotive applications, embedded flash, RRAM, MRAM, Radio Frequency (RF) and other non-volatile memories.
TSMC will operate the fab according to the foundry business model, which means that ESMC will be open to any customer beyond Bosch, Infineon and NXP and not compete with its clients. ESMC will be the first and so far, only pure play foundry to establish a sustainable mass production with FinFET capability on EU soil. The fab will be of strategic importance in strengthening the European semiconductor ecosystem and unleashing innovation.
Company sustainability
The ESMC fab is committed to upholding standards of sustainability and environmental protection. In line with this mission, we are dedicated to constructing a green fab that utilizes both existing and cutting-edge techniques to optimize resource conservation. This includes energy-efficient construction, water reclamation, and certification. All TSMC’s overseas locations use 100% renewable energy and the same is expected for ESMC. TSMC aspires to be a world-leading benchmark organization in environmental protection and actively integrates green management into daily operations. ESMC will take the same approach, applying innovative technologies to climate and energy, water management, circular resources, and air pollution control, promoting a comprehensive range of sustainable actions to strengthen environmental protection and act on the firm belief in prospering with the earth's ecosystem.
