    On May 31, Infineon plans to accelerate the expansion of production capacity in response to the shortage of chips. In a recent interview with the German business daily, Rutger wijburg, its chief Production Officer, said that Infineon would outsource a new Fab every two to three years in the future, compared with the previous frequency of four to five years.

    In addition to outsourcing semiconductor production business, Infineon will also solve the problem of chip shortage through its own efforts. Wijburg disclosed that the current market situation requires accelerating the pace of investment, and Infineon may also promote multiple large-scale construction projects in parallel in the future.

    Wijburg said that the reason for the decision was that the current major foundries maintained high capacity utilization and only accepted orders with a long delivery date. In addition, the longer delivery time of semiconductor equipment has also accelerated the outsourcing pace of Infineon. "Now the 12-month delivery time of equipment is very normal, and even the 18 month or longer delivery time is becoming more and more common." At the same time, the semiconductor market environment is good. McKinsey and other market research institutions predict that the annual sales of the semiconductor industry will increase by 8% in the next decade, including the automotive semiconductor market.
