Intel, one of the world’s largest technology companies and a leading manufacturer of processors for personal computers and servers, recently announced the construction of the world’s largest chip factory in Magdeburg, Germany.
Intel’s German fab will be most advanced in the world and make 1.5nm chips and will not only be the most advanced semiconductor production facility in Europe, but, the most advanced fab in the world when it comes online. The fab will process wafers using post-18A process technologies and will be used to make products both for Intel as well as its Intel Foundry Services customers.
The project is part of Intel’s strategy to continue to lead the market after becoming the leading global supplier of semiconductors by 2023. The choice of Germany to host the new plant was not random, as Intel has signed an agreement with the European Union to boost semiconductor development on the continent.
Intel expects its 18A and its successors to be ahead of the industry in terms of power, performance, and area characteristics.
