Investing 5 billion euros, STMicroelectronics announces the construction of an 8-inch SiC wafer fab in Italy

STMicroelectronics announced that it will invest 5 billion euros to establish a 200mm (8-inch) silicon carbide (SiC) manufacturing plant in Catania, Italy, for the production of SiC power devices and modules. This SiC park will integrate all steps from substrate development to wafer manufacturing, module assembly, and packaging, with the aim of improving yield and performance. This project is the center of STMicroelectronics' global silicon carbide ecosystem and the first factory in Europe to achieve mass production of 200nm silicon carbide wafers. The Italian government will provide approximately 2 billion euros in support within the framework of the European Chip Act, and the factory is planned to start mass production in 2026 and is expected to reach full capacity by 2033.

Beijing Integrated Circuit Industry Education Integration Base will be put into operation in September next year

The Beijing Integrated Circuit Industry Education Integration Base project is currently under construction and is expected to be put into use in September 2025. This base is located in the core area of Beijing Economic Development Zone, with a total construction area of 105524 square meters. It will include four teaching and research buildings with 11 floors above ground and 3 floors underground. The project aims to provide a venue that integrates teaching, research, and living functions, with a maximum capacity of 2000 people for simultaneous on campus training. The building adopts a series of intelligent and green construction technologies, including BIM 3D intelligent steel structure modeling, intelligent building robots, digital twin visualization delivery and operation systems, etc., to improve construction level and safety production. The construction of this base is an important measure to deepen the integration of industry and education and cultivate integrated circuit talents. The construction unit will ensure the progress and quality of the project and turn it into a high-quality project.
