"It's exciting to work in a growth market and be part of constant our expansion."
Dr. Chetan Singh, R&D Engineer
A wafer passes through up to 250 process steps in the cleanroom which takes between 5 and 12 weeks.
Around 500 employees currently work in Itzehoe. This number is constantly growing due to our expansion plans. We are one of the largest employers in the region.
A 200-mm wafer contains up to 200,000 components, each a fraction of a micrometer in size (diameter of a human hair: 70 micrometers).
Vishay's components are everywhere
The power MOSFETs (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors) that we develop and build are essential components for switching and converting electrical power as well as for power management. Our customers build these semiconductor components into high-tech products, like cell phones, tablets, and game consoles. They are used in virtually every area of life, including in automotive, communications and computer applications. The likelihood that you are holding a product that contains a Vishay component in your hands right now is extremely high.

The future at 300 mm
Vishay Itzehoe is an important partner for customers, from the automotive industry in particular. Its products are used in start/stop generators, engine control systems, entertainment systems, and anti-lock braking systems, among other things. In 2015, we moved the entire production of our automotive MOSFETs from the USA to Itzehoe in Germany. Due to rising demand, we are expanding our capacity with a new 300-mm factory in addition to our 200-mm production plant. A new 4,000-sqm cleanroom will double our production capacities and create around 150 additional jobs. The first stage of construction started in 2022.
The cleanest workplace far and wide
Ensuring the highest possible quality of these particles, measuring just a fraction of a micrometer, requires outstanding production processes and extensive technical know-how. Our "cleanroom", the centerpiece of the production area, uses a special ventilation system to keep the number of dust particles as low as possible. To do so, the air is constantly blown down from the ceiling where it exits the room through the perforated raised floor. The temperature and humidity are also kept constant. Since people are usually the greatest source of particles and other contaminants, our employees only access the cleanroom departments with special overalls, overshoes, face masks, and gloves.
