Elmos Semiconductor SE Expands Wafer Capacity in Dortmund

Elmos Semiconductor SE, a key player in mixed-signal semiconductors for the automotive industry, has extended its supply agreement for the Dortmund wafer fab. This expansion ensures significantly increased capacity until at least 2028. According to CEO Dr. Arne Schneider, this move strengthens Elmos' supply chain reliability amid rising semiconductor demand.

Driven by global trends like electrification and autonomous driving, the demand for semiconductors in vehicles keeps growing. Additionally, the rise in high-voltage technology for data centers propels the need for increased wafer manufacturing capacity. The extended agreement with the Dortmund fab addresses these demands early.

This expansion complements Elmos' strategy of combining cutting-edge technology from foundry partners with increased local capacity. In the current allocation environment, securing additional wafer capacity is an important strategic move.
