Exhibit 2.11: Technical Documentation

The following documentation will be available to each PARTY in accordance to Article 2.11,
including any intermediate or preliminary form of such documentation as available and requested
and agreed upon by the PARTIES. The detailed list of technical documents shall be discussed and
determined by written consent of Management Coordinators.

It is acknowledged that if a PROJECT is ended before completion of the last development project, as
defined in Exhibit 2.4, the Management Coordinators will agree which documentation shall be
excluded from Exhibit 2.11.

The technical documents shall be jointly written by the PARTY’S in English language. It is the
joint responsibility of the PARTIES to compile necessary documentation. However, due to
confidentiality or other limitations on certain information, access to certain information may
require assistance of INFINEON or personnel assigned by INFINEON. Such assistance shall be
provided if needed.

Information shall be made available electronically to facilitate transfer of such information in an
efficient manner. Only if agreed upon by the Project Managers other means will be applied.
Considering the fact that the electronic media is easy to modify and transfer, Technical
Coordinators shall determine the method of managing these documents.

[***]

Use of standard software packages is preferred for documentation within the project as well
as for transfer purposes.

MS Office ® software, Adobe Acrobat ®, Adobe Framemaker ® and Lotus Notes ® are the front up
software packages to be used. To ensure sufficient compatibility only English software versions
shall be used for PROJECT work. However each PARTY may support additional software at there own

STAFFING REQUIREMENTS

Staffing requirements for engineering and engineering management for the development projects have
been estimated at the levels and in the disciplines indicated in the tables below. This effort is
directed at the development of leading edge semiconductor fabrication processes and will require
highly skilled people to be successfully realized. All assignees shall have sufficient working
knowledge of the English language. These skills shall be sufficient to support the Development
Projects in a way defined in paragraph 8.9. Only resources identified in this Exhibit 1.1 will be

In the case that the staffing exceeds the annual staffing plan as approved by the management
coordinators, the further procedure shall be mutually agreed by the Management Coordinators.

[***]

The Staffing requirements shall be met by the parties with employees located in IFX DD or
Infineon Munich.

The following is a guideline for the approximate skill mix requirements for each area set forth
above. The specific skill mix for each area must be approved by the Project Managers. The Project
Managers shall decide if Technicians should be taken into consideration.

Exhibit 1.4: Definition of Commercial Samples

Commercial samples have to be produced with a defined and frozen process which is representative
for volume shipments hereafter.

The
process and the product has to be qualified according to the agreed procedures and it has to
be demonstrated that the process and product is able to fulfil the agreed quality and reliability
requirements or a risk assessment has to be given that, based on the available data, the process
and product most likely fulfil the requirements.

Commercial samples have to fully comply with the corresponding data sheet or an errata sheet has to
be added to the samples shipment and the customer has to be properly informed about the deviations.
