Infineon plans to restructure its chip manufacturing in Germany. Production from Munich Perlach will largely be transferred to Regensburg and some to Villach. Manufacturing at Munich Perlach will be phased out by early 2007, Infineon said.

The 800 employees in Munich Perlach will be properly transferred and placed, the company said. The plant was first started as a research facility and then transformed to manufacture high-frequency products. However, the function of these products is increasingly being integrated into the fine-structure CMOS-chips, which cannot be manufactured in Perlach which is only uses 150mm silicon wafers technology, the company said.

Infineon expects the transfer and phase-out of the plant in Munich Perlach will take two years.
