Coming home for Christmas? 🎄🎅 For many years, I commuted almost weekly from my hometown Dresden to southern and northern Germany for work, spending countless hours on highways. This remains the reality for hundreds of thousands of employees who regularly commute from eastern to western Germany. 💡 As many former residents return home for the Christmas season, we would like to make them more receptive to the idea of moving back permanently. That’s why we launched a multi-channel campaign today with focus on technical related jobs GlobalFoundries. The several different wordings would likely appeal to those tired of long commutes and seeking a better work-life balance. It taps into the emotional desire to stay close to home, family and friends while pursuing a rewarding career in a growing industry in Silicon Saxony. 🚋 In trams and busses from the Dresdner Verkehrsbetriebe AG, we use from today simple yet attention-grabbing advertisements like in the picture. 📱 The campaign is also running digitally with various visuals and wordings across relevant social media channels. I’m curious: How do you like the campaign approach?

Guess what? Making a real difference in the highly complex and interlinked semiconductor supply chain requires collaboration - urgently. We at Merck Electronics have known - and lived this - since day one. That’s why being part of the Semiconductor-X initiative was a no brainer for us. ... so what is it? Semiconductor-X is a nationwide consortium of over 20 partners in Germany for the digitalization of supply chains in the semiconductor industry. It is a project of the german federal ministry for economic affairs and climate action, funded by the European Union. As a key supplier of materials and solutions for the semiconductor industry we simply couldn’t resist the chance to play our part. It is time to put all hands on deck, to contribute to greater resilience and more sustainability through the digitalization of supply chains. Great things are coming!

That's the future of the #semiconductor industry! This is what it looks like behind the cameras when 57 young men and women start their apprenticeship at GlobalFoundries in Dresden. In the presence of media and political representatives - including Saxony's Minister of State Conrad Clemens - as well as vocational partners, we welcomed the young talents to our team yesterday and had two reasons to be happy. 📈 Our answer to the high demand for skilled workers: We are currently training a total of around 140 young people in Dresden across all apprenticeship years and plan to increase this number significantly over the next few years. The number of apprentices starting this year is record-breaking and has never been higher since the company was founded. 💰 We are investing a six-figure sum in a new apprenticeship workshop to ensure optimal training. In future, this will provide 1,000 square meters of space for theoretical and practical training. A team of six trainers will prepare the young men and women in the new apprenticeship workshop for their future work in one of the most modern and efficient semiconductor factories in Europe.

The Missing Strategy in Europe's Chip Ambitions 💡 Member States Must Drive the Next Steps 👏 by stiftung neue verantwortung - NOW: interface! #European #semiconductor #technology suppliers hold market-leading—sometimes monopolistic—positions at various points in the global semiconductor value chain. #Europe is home to competitive suppliers of #semiconductormanufacturing equipment, #chemicals, #sensors, #automotive #chips, and power #semiconductors, to name just a few. Because of the steep barriers to entry and close customer–supplier relationships, these are not easy markets to enter and successfully compete as a new company. The world depends on semiconductor technologies from European companies, and just as Europe depends on front- and back-end manufacturing in #Asia, Asian fabrication plants (fabs) depend on #manufacturing equipment and chemicals from European suppliers. Furthermore, manufacturers of #electricvehicles all over the world depend on chips from Europe. The list goes on. Semiconductors are a strategic asset to Europe, one that provides #geopolitical leverage—as other countries depend on access to our #technology. Because #semiconductors are at the epicenter of the #USA – #China technology rivalry, it is crucial for the #EuropeanUnion (#EU) to have a clear-eyed, well-informed semiconductor strategy rooted in current geopolitical reality. Unfortunately, the EU #ChipsAct is not a long-term semiconductor strategy with meaningful policy objectives but a collection of ideas and initiatives. This necessitates EU member states filling in the blanks—understand the competitive position of their domestic semiconductor industries; articulate why and to what end they want to support this sector, and what their long-term policy objectives are; and invest in their national administrative resources and brainpower. Doing all of that is a prerequisite to being able to engage in, as well as shape, policy discourse meaningfully at the EU level, vis-à-vis the United States and at the international level. If EU member state governments fail to enhance and intensify their efforts, there is a very real risk that the European #semiconductorindustry will lose its prominence in the global semiconductor value chain, and Europe would consequently have lost a strategic asset.

I am looking forward to 2025, which will bring many opportunities for us as HR and as Infineon. In HR, we love being a true partner to our business. This brings me to my top priority for 2025: In order to continuously increase the strategic part of our work, we must continue on our path of harmonization and digitalization. For HR as a function, I see two clear guardrails. First, we need to continue to accelerate efficiency. AI is coming in as a strategic partner, bringing great opportunities that we need to seize, while managing the potential risks that come with it. Second, we need to get out of firefighting mode and continue to minimize transactional tasks. To do this, we must continue to harmonize and simplify processes. Only then can we make a real impact and become a real driver of the business. Looking at my HR team, I have no doubt that we are on the right track. With that, I wish you all the best in the New Year and a happy 2025! I'm looking forward to many more great conversations with you, both online and offline. Let’s continue to drive decarbonization & digitalization. Together. #NewYear #Transformation #Future #HR

I never imagined at the beginning of my career how far #semiconductor technogy would go. Hint: my first designs were at the 1 micron at Technische Universität Berlin and then for the Deutsche Telekom and Fujitsu a what now would be called the 300nm node. My late Diploma advisor Prof. Otto Manck always smiled and said "the semiconductor technogists will take further than we ever thought it would go." I am looking forward to IBM's Huiming Bu to present next week on "Semiconductor Technology Innovations to Fuel the Chip Engine for AI Infrastructure." Amazing times! See you at the IEEE World Technolgy Summit on AI Infrastucture next week: https://bit.ly/4dKgwxN! "Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming our world and the demand for computing capability is increasing at an unprecedented pace. Here we will talk about semiconductor technology innovations in transistor and advanced packaging to meet this ever-growing demand in the era of AI. Transistor architecture breakthroughs and integrated circuit interconnect innovations have enabled tens of billions of transistors onto a chip the size of a fingernail. New technologies like High NA EUV are driving manufacturing and design research & development, accelerating transistor and interconnect roadmaps to fuel advances in semiconductor chips required for expanding AI workloads. By synergizing the full logic stack through chip package, we can make AI hardware more powerful and more energy efficient."

🏗️ 👍 The #SmartPowerFab continues to take shape at Infineon Technologies in #Dresden. Especially the so called waffle tables that form the floor of the cleanroom are more and more visible. They are characterized by the numerous, large holes in the concrete floor that allow the air to flow out of the cleanroom into the level below. Filters are later placed in the level above to cleanse the air and return it to the production area. This is an important cycle to keep the cleanroom free of particles – so that the processing of the delicate wafers can run smoothly.
