German chipmaker Infineon will invest about €1.1bn in its site in Villach, Austria, to make power chips from gallium nitride, the company announced on Tuesday.
It says the plant will be the first in the world to make these chips in large volumes on 300mm wafers.
Power chips control how electricity flows inside devices, from chargers to servers. Most are made from silicon, but gallium nitride, or GaN, switches faster, wastes less energy and runs cooler.
That makes it useful…
