Murata is building a new 200mm mass production line in Caen, France, to expand silicon capacitor productivity.

The production line will be under construction in the spring of 2023 and will be newly installed in the existing building. Through this expansion, Murata will create more than 100 new jobs between 2023 and 2025. The silicon capacitors Murata produces at the plant will be used in demanding fields such as implantable medical systems, telecommunications infrastructure and mobile phones.

The new production line will be based on 200mm wafers and focus on PICS (Passive Integration Connective Substrate) leading technology, which has higher performance in terms of electrical characteristics. These products are ultra-small, with thicknesses as low as 40µm, and are targeted at the mobile phone market with ultra-high performance and capacitance values.

Franck MURRAY, General Manager of Murata Integrated Passive Solutions (Caen, France) said:

Murata's silicon capacitor technology is gaining traction and experiencing significant growth outside of demanding niche markets. Mobile phone architectures as well as new electric vehicle systems require increasingly lower parasitic capacitance and very high frequency and temperature performance. These new applications also have challenging requirements in terms of space and volume.

Franck MURRAY said: “With the support of the French and European authorities, this investment by Murata in a local factory is a major step forward for our growth and another proof that our technology is bringing increasing value to our customers. ”

Murata Integrated Passive Solutions is part of Japan's Murata Group. The company, located in Caen, Normandy, France, specializes in the development and production of 3D silicon capacitors, mainly used in medical implant devices, high-reliability applications, telecommunications infrastructure, and new automotive and mobile applications. The company has more than 200 employees in France.

It is understood that the production building for this new production line has been completed and the new equipment will be integrated in the coming weeks and months. At the same time, a recruitment plan has also been launched, with plans to welcome more than 100 new employees in the next three years.
