Get to know Infineon Regensburg

Semiconductors are indispensable in today‘s day and age. They make cars more environmentally friendly, safer and more comfortable. They feed renewable energy from wind turbines and solar power plants into power supply systems with very little loss. They make smartphones and computers more energy efficient, and chips improve data security in credit cards and ID cards. Products by Infineon are intelligent and environmentally friendly. In order to achieve this, development and production must be in perfect tune, like in Regensburg.

Infineon Regensburg – Innovation site and high-tech factory in one. This is where we conceive and build the chip standards of the future. Together with our more than 3,000 employees, we develop innovations with new materials and devise new packaging, manufacturing processes and new chip separation methods for our power semiconductors, sensors, microcontrollers and high-frequency chips. Having the development and production facilities on one campus enables people to quickly exchange creative ideas.

Exemplary disposal and recycling concepts and reductions in emissions have made Infineon Regensburg a worldwide model for ecologically sound semiconductor production.

We use heat reclamation to cut several thousand tons of CO2 emissions annually and save enough kilowatt hours of energy to power several hundred four-person households for an entire year.

How does this work? Waste heat from a variety of cooling systems is used to heat up cold external air in the winter, and waste heat from generation of compressed air and from heat pumps is used for heating purposes. This lets us cover approximately 69 percent of our heating requirements.

And we give a high priority to recycling waste. Our recycling rate of more than 90 percent is unrivaled in the semiconductor industry. Thanks to a method for reclaming precious metals from electroplating slurry, we can even turn dirt into gold.

The success and sustainability of our dedication is confirmed for example by the frequent reception of the city of Regensburg´s „Umweltpreis“, environmental protection prize, various bio-diversity assessments and the Bavarian „Umweltmedaille“, environmental award. In 2015 Infineon was included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for the sixth time in a row.

Regensburg is the first Infineon site in the world to be certified under the international ISO 14001 standard. This standard systematically consolidates the objectives of the use of energy. Regensburg also complies with the energy management standard ISO 50001, which ensures the continuous improvement of energy-related performance.
