Following up on the story we reported - Bosch opens Reutlingen fab - we now have a visual angle - a new addition to our Picture Gallery Index. See Photos: Inside the new Bosch Reutlingen fab
The new eight-inch wafer fab, which will be used to manufacture semiconductors and micromechanical systems, is the largest single capital investment in the history of the Bosch Group - an investment totaling some 600 million euros, according to the company.
Once the new fab reaches its full design capacity in 2016, it will be producing up to one million microchips a day and will employ a workforce of approximately 800 people, Bosch says.
Pictures show characterization of the photolithographic structures, the special equipment used to clean wafers, the inspection of wafers, and maintenance on a plasma etcher, among other images.
