Robert Bosch Semiconductor LLC (California)
Key Facts
Project Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce has awarded Robert Bosch Semiconductor LLC (“Bosch”), a subsidiary of Robert Bosch GmbH, direct funding under the CHIPS and Science Act. This award will support Bosch’s $2 billion investment to transform its manufacturing facility in Roseville, California, into a state-of-the-art silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductor production facility. SiC semiconductors are essential components to the automotive, industrial, energy, and consumer appliance industries.
Economic and National Security Impact
This award will support the modernization and expansion of Bosch’s largest SiC facility globally, accelerating the development of new cleanroom space and an advanced manufacturing line for production of SiC semiconductors. The Roseville facility represents the first semiconductor production site in the United States for Bosch. Silicon carbide is a critical wide bandgap semiconductor technology that handles high voltages, high temperatures, and fast switching with smaller components. By onshoring production capability, the direct funding bolsters the domestic supply chain for critical SiC technology used in industries including energy, automotive, and defense.
