\n STMicroelectronics has announced plans to build a giant factory in Italy that will make specialist microchips for EVs and other high-voltage power devices.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Swiss firm is the world\u2019s largest producer of silicon carbide microchips, particularly valued by automakers for being lightweight, energy-efficient, and strong. This translates to EVs that can drive further and are less prone to technical failures.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

STMicroelectronics\u2019 new facility will specialise in making 200mm wafers. It will be located in Catania, on the island of Sicily. Building it is expected to cost in the region of <\/span>\u20ac5bn.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The EU has agreed to foot \u20ac2bn of the bill <\/span>under the <\/span>Chips Act<\/span>. This landmark law<\/span> mobilises more than \u20ac43bn with the aim to boost the bloc\u2019s share of global semiconductor production from 10% today to 20% by 2030.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The new plant in Sicily will \u201cstrengthen the European semiconductors supply chain and ensure our access to a reliable source of power-efficient chips,\u201d said the EU\u2019s competition chief, Margrethe Vestager.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

STMicroelectronics<\/span> \u2014 which counts Tesla, BMW, and Renault among its customers \u2014 ramped up production last year despite a <\/span>global <\/span>downturn<\/span><\/a> in the semiconductor market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Swiss firm already has a 150mm wafer production plant in Catania, Italy. The new plant will be built next to it. The company is also currently building a new facility in China to serve the rapidly growing Chinese EV market.<\/span><\/p>\n

STMicroelectronics expects the new facility to start production in 2026, reaching full capacity by 2033. At fu<\/span>ll speed, the production line will be able to churn out 15,000 wafers per week.\u00a0 <\/span>\n <\/div>\n
