June 20 (Reuters) - Chipmakers across the globe are pouring billions of dollars in investment to set up new plants, encouraged by the rising use of semiconductors in everyday devices and generous subsidies from the United States and the EU aimed at keeping the West ahead of China in the race for cutting-edge technology. The European Commission has earmarked 15 billion euros for public and private semiconductor projects by 2030, while U.S. President Joe Biden's administration passed the CHIPS Act last year to make over $52-billion worth of subsidies available for the American semiconductor industry. The Act deters companies using U.S. funds from undertaking any big expansions of overseas semiconductor manufacturing facilities in "countries of concern" such as China for 10 years, with some exceptions. India, Taiwan and South Korea have also offered incentives such as tax breaks to boost domestic chip production. Below are some of the chipmakers' plans for factories in Europe, North America and Asia: NORTH AMERICA Company Investment Intel Last year, Intel said it would invest up to $100 billion to build potentially the world's largest chip-making complex in Ohio. The company also broke ground on two new factories in Arizona in September 2021. Taiwan TSMC said in December it plans to invest $40 billion in its chip Semiconductor plant in Arizona. The plant is scheduled to be operational in 2024. Manufacturing Company Ltd (TSMC) Wolfspeed Inc In September, Wolfspeed said it would build a new multi-billion dollar silicon carbide wafer factory in Chatham County, North Carolina to make chips that power things such as electric vehicles. Wafers are raw materials used for making chips. Micron Technology In October, Micron said it planned to invest up to $100 billion over the next 20-plus years to build a computer chip factory complex in upstate New York. The company also announced a $15 billion factory in Boise, Idaho in September. GlobalFoundries GlobalFoundries in July 2021 said it will build a second factory near its in Malta, New York, headquarters, and spend $1 billion to boost output to address the global chip shortage. Texas Instruments The company has several wafer fab projects underway, including in Richardson and Sherman in Texas and in Lehi, Utah. It expects production at the Utah fab, which it bought from Micron for $900 million, to commence in 2026 Samsung In 2021, Samsung said it would invest in a $17 billion chip plant in Electronics Co Ltd Taylor, Texas to make advanced chips for mobile, 5G, high-performance computing and artificial intelligence. SkyWater It announced plans in July last year to invest $1.8 billion for a Technology chip research and production facility in Indiana, in partnership with the state and Purdue University. EUROPE Company Investment Infineon Infineon won approval to begin work on a 5 billion euro ($5.47 billion)semiconductor plant in the German city of Dresden, it said on Feb. 16. Production is due to start in 2026. Intel Intel will spend more than 30 billion euros ($32.79 billion) to develop two chip-making plants in Magdeburg, the German city it picked in March 2022 as a key part of its $88 billion investment drive across Europe. The U.S. chipmaker will get 10 billion euros of subsidies from Germany, a source told Reuters. It is also continuing talks with Italy for an advanced packaging and assembly plant, the company said after announcing in June it would invest up to $4.6 billion on a new semiconductor assembly and test facility in Poland. STMicroelectro The Franco-Italian company said in October it plans to build a 730 nics million euro ($797.89 million) silicon carbide wafer plant in Italy. Building is due to be complete in 2026. It also announced plans in July to build a semiconductor factory in France in partnership with GlobalFoundries . Taiwan TSMC said it is feeling "good" about talks towards setting up Semiconductor its first European factory in Manufacturing Germany Company Ltd . It has been in talks with the German state of Saxony since (TSMC)<2330.TW 2021 about building a fabrication plant, in Dresden. > Wolfspeed Inc The chipmaker will build a $3-billion electric vehicle chip plant and a research and development center in Germany, it said on Feb. 1. Production is planned to start in 2027 in the German state of Saarland, with Wolfspeed's Chief Executive Gregg Lowe telling Reuters the plant is expected to rank as the world's biggest production facility for chips made out of silicon carbide. ASIA Company Investment Intel Intel is considering a significant increase in its existing $1.5-billion investment in Vietnam to expand its chip testing and packaging plant in the Southeast Asian nation, Reuters reported in February. Taiwan TSMC plans to construct a second chip plant in Japan to manufacture 5 Semiconductor and 10 nanometre chips from the second half of the decade, a local Manufacturing newspaper reported in February. Company Ltd (TSMC) Samsung Samsung said on March 15 it will invest around 300 trillion won Electronics Co ($233.03 billion) by 2042 to develop what the government called the Ltd world's largest chip-making base, in line with efforts to enhance South Korea's chip industry. Foxconn Foxconn and Indian oil-to-metals conglomerate Vedanta signed a pact in September with India's Gujarat to invest $19.5 billion in the western state to set up semiconductor and display production plants. Micron Micron said Technology it would invest $603 million over the next few years in its chip packaging facility in China's Xian city. STMicroelectronics and Sanan Optoelectronics STMicroelectron plan ics to set up a silicon carbide manufacturing joint venture in Chongqing, China Japan's state-backed Rapidus Rapidus said it would build its semiconductor plant in Chitose, a manufacturing hub on the nation's northern island of Hokkaido.
