TSI Semiconductors had been looking to dispose of its operational, but underutilized 200mm fab based in Roseville, CA, not finding the right buyer for the manufacturing asset employing a workforce of approx. 250.
ATREG saw synergies between the Roseville fab capabilities and Bosch’s SiC manufacturing strategy and brought the German company to the table as a potential buyer. Their decision to pursue SiC in Roseville ensures a long-term future for the site and workforce. Attracting one of Europe’s largest manufacturers to U.S. soil who has only ever produced front-end chips in Germany is a massive win for the U.S. semiconductor industry.
- Completion of the fab acquisition announced on August 31st, 2023
- New CA company renamed Robert Bosch Semiconductor LLC
- All 250 employees to be integrated into Bosch's international semiconductor manufacturing network
- Bosch to invest more than $1.5 billion to upgrade the site by applying for federal funding under the CHIPS and Science Act / $25 million California Competes Tax Credit incentive from GO-Biz
- Plant to be transformed into a production facility for 200mm SiC chips for electric vehicles following retooling phase beginning in 2026
