For the full year, Infineon expects investments amounting to approximately 3 billion euros.
The planned expansion of the Kulim fab is backed by customer commitments covering about 5 billion euros and about 1 billion euros in pre-payments, said Infineon, which said it would invest up to an additional 5 billion euros over the next five years.
The company expects the expanded facility - together with its plant in Villach, Austria - to generate annual revenues of 7 billion euros.
The company on Thursday confirmed its revenue outlook of around 16.2 billion euros, which it had raised in May.
Infineon's third-quarter adjusted, or "segment", result was down 10% from the previous quarter at 1.067 billion euros, while its margin came in slightly lower than expected, at 26.1%.
