Infineon opens backend manufacturing site in Thailand

Infineon Technologies, a global semiconductor leader in power systems and IoT, says it has officially inaugurated its new backend manufacturing site in Bangkok. Backend semiconductor manufacturing is the final stage of chip production.

Anutin Charnvirakul, Prime Minister of Thailand, and Alexander Gorski, Chief Operations Officer of Infineon Technologies, attended the ceremony at the site which, says Infineon, strengthens and further diversifies the company's global manufacturing footprint while adding capacity for future growth.

The facility can scale up to five modules, giving Bangkok the potential to become one of Infineon's largest backend manufacturing sites over time. The company says that, as a strategic addition to its globally diversified manufacturing network, the site complements the ongoing expansion of Infineon's frontend manufacturing (the initial stage in the semiconductor fabrication process) capacities.

The site currently employs around 350 people and is expected to grow to approximately 1,000 employees as the first building (Module A) ramps up. 

The Bangkok site combines advanced automation, scalable design and a digital manufacturing backbone to support efficient, stable and high-quality production at scale. Built as a greenfield site, the facility leverages proven expertise from Infineon’s established backend manufacturing locations while providing the flexibility to adapt to evolving customer requirements, new technologies and large production volumes.

Equipped with advanced cleanroom, assembly and test capabilities, all supported by a high level of automation, the Bangkok site covers the full spectrum of semiconductor backend processes as well as wafer test.

This site is also built with sustainability in mind. It runs on 100% green electricity, incorporates water recycling and rainwater collection systems and is equipped with solar modules that generate renewable energy on site.
