Infineon is on the move. Infineon went public in Frankfurt and New York. In the years spanning 1995 to 2000, we worked our way up from 15th place to become one of the top 10 ranked companies in the semiconductor industry. Our growth rate during this time averaged more than 20 percent, far above that of the industry as a whole. The future market of electronic intelligence Microelectronics.
Nothing works without it.
In all likelihood, microelectronics will be by far the most important technology of the 21st century. Computers, cellular phones, digital TVs, jet planes, heart pacemakers or automatic teller machines - none of these are conceivable without the building blocks of microelectronics. In industrial countries today, most people already use some 60 chips on an average day. The tremendous progress in chip miniaturization and performance optimization has lead to the continual development of new and improved products and systems. While the first cellular phones weighed over 500 grams, they now barely reach 100 grams-and a reduction to half that weight is in sight.
