Robert Bosch Tool Corporation Robert Bosch GmbH acquired US chipmaker TSI Semiconductors, based in Roseville, California. With a workforce of 250, TSI has been producing semiconductor chips since 1984. Robert Bosch plans to invest more than $1.5 billion in the Roseville site and convert the TSI Semiconductors manufacturing facilities to state-of-the-art processes. The first chips will be produced on 200-millimeter wafers based on the innovative material silicon carbide (SiC) starting in 2026. The full scope of the planned investment will be heavily dependent on federal funding opportunities available via the CHIPS and Science Act as well as economic development opportunities within the state of California. Vice President Kamala Harris applauded the investment, saying that it will bring down costs, strengthen the supply chain and help rebuild American manufacturing. Robert Bosch has been producing semiconductors at various locations around the globe for more than 60 years and is widely recognized as an industry leader and expert.
