TELEFUNKEN Semiconductors is expanding its manufacturing capacity at the Roseville, California facility. The first phase expansion plan provides for a 100% increase in wafer processing capability (to 220,000+ 8 inch wafers, or 5,500,000 mask layers per year). This expansion will make TELEFUNKEN’s Roseville facility one of the largest U.S.-based semiconductor foundry services companies in the United States.

This expansion is a testimony of our strong commitment to, and profound belief in, the high-tech manufacturing and R&D which are so critical to our overall economic eco-system.”
