Germany-based electronics and engineering giant Bosch made an important statement for the semiconductor world. In the official statement, it was stated that the US company TSI Semiconductors, whose chips we see in many products today, will be purchased. Bosch agreed to invest $1.5 billion for this acquisition.
After acquiring TSI Semiconductors, Bosch will focus specifically on silicon carbide chips. These chips are critical, especially for electric cars. In a statement made by Bosch, it was stated that silicon carbide chips increase the range in electric cars (about 6 percent) and increase the charging efficiency (consume up to 50 percent less energy). But Bosch’s plans for the future are not just silicon carbide chips, of course.
The first chips will be produced in 2026
In the statements made by Bosch, it was stated that the factory of TSI Semiconductors in Roseville, USA will be equipped with the latest technology and then chip production will be started quickly. According to the plan, the first chips will be produced in 2026. When we come to 2030, we will see not only Bosch’s silicon carbide chips, but also chips with different technologies.
Bosch is very pleased with this huge investment. “By expanding our semiconductor operations internationally, we will strengthen our local presence in the electric vehicle market,” said Markus Heyn, one of the company’s senior executives. used his statements.
