Infineon Relies on "Silicon Saxony"

With more than 4,00 employees, Infineon Dresden is one of the most important industrial employers in "Silicon Saxony."

In addition to its chip manufacturing on 200-mm silicon wafers, which has been in operation since the company’s inception, Infineon commissioned the world’s first high-volume factory for power semiconductors on 300-mm wafers in Dresden in 2011. With this strategic decision, the company secured the long-term future of the site. Since then, Infineon has invested over 700 million euros in this second production line.

Today, Infineon Dresden manufactures over 400 different products based on 200-mm and 300-mm wafers for all four of the Group’s business divisions—quickly and with the highest quality. The products meet the highest security standards—which is particularly important for security and smart card products as well as automotive electronics.

A high degree of automation and interconnected stages of the value chain—that’s what sets both production lines apart. Over the past few years, Infineon Dresden has further developed the 200-mm line into the world’s most highly automated factory. The 300-mm line was designed from the outset as a fully automated production facility. Anyone who wants to experience Industry 4.0 firsthand should visit Infineon in Dresden.

In 2023, the company began construction of a new plant for analog/mixed-signal technologies and power semiconductors in Dresden. This “Smart Power Fab” opened in July 2026, several months ahead of schedule. With an investment volume of five billion euros, the new plant is the largest single investment in Infineon’s history and one of the largest investment projects in Germany.
