Twenty-five months after its groundbreaking, ESMC - TSMC's joint venture with Bosch, Infineon and NXP - celebrated the topping-out of its roughly EUR 10 billion chip fab in Dresden, TSMC's first in Europe. The shell is finished; cleanroom fit-out follows, with the first process tools due in the second half of 2027.

ESMC, TSMC's EUR 10 billion joint venture with Bosch, Infineon and NXP, is due to start production at its Dresden fab by the end of 2027 - Europe's first FinFET-capable foundry, making 28/22nm and 16/12nm chips mainly for cars and industry.
