Soon it will relocate elsewhere. Muuds can't even operate machinery properly, how to operate such advanced-tech plant which requires specialized training for hardworking and high-IQ engineers? LMAO.
This farking project is initiated by Muud Anwar which can create 900 jobs. The only way for it to work is all 900 of these jobs must be given to the smart local non-Muuds. But due to ranjiao NEP policy, a large portion will have to be given to local Muud engineers/managers/directors else they will cry foul. It's just a recipe for disaster to happen, LOL.

" Engineers at this fab will carry out all aspects on front-end processing, including production of SiC substrates from boules provided by five suppliers – two from China, two from the US, and one from Japan. Helping increase the margins associated with this process is the Cold Split technology that Infineon acquired from Siltectra in 2018. “With this new technology you can reduce some of the losses of the raw material,” says Ng.
Construction of the 200 mm SiC fab is expected to create 900 jobs, with the vast majority taken by local people. To help with the training of Malaysian engineers, many are sent to Infineon’s other SiC fab, located in Villach, Austria. In addition, experts from there visit the facility in Kulim.
To help attract the best local talent, the Kulim fab works very closely with local universities and polytechnics by offering placements for internship and final year projects. Ng and his colleagues have found that
due to need for very specific expertise, even engineers graduating after a four-year programme can take 8 months of training before they can start making meaningful contributions. So, to avoid this delay, a programme has been introduced, with students spending time at the facility and having an engineer at the fab as a mentor. “By the time they graduate, they are already effective, because they know SPC, they know how to do the DoE, and things like that,” says Ng.
Helping Infineon commit to investing in Kulim 3 are a number of design wins totalling €5 billion. They are roughly a 50-50 split between the electric vehicle and industrial sectors, with the latter a mix of solar and storage industries.
The plan is that by the end of this decade, production at both the Kulim and Villach sites will account for a 30 percent share of the SiC power market, which by then will be worth about €20 billion.
While emphasis is initially on SiC at Kulim 3, efforts are also underway to develop GaN products at this site. The first steps towards this, now underway, involves the qualification of the growth process.
Based on all the plans for wide bandgap semiconductors at Kulim, there’s no doubt that the long-term relationship between Infineon and Malaysia will only get stronger throughout this decade and beyond.
