FRANKFURT (Reuters) -German automotive supplier ZF intends to withdraw from a planned $3 billion microchip manufacturing project with U.S. chipmaker Wolfspeed in western Germany, an industry source said on Tuesday.
The rethink followed Wolfspeed's decision to put the project on hold because of weaker than expected semiconductor demand and doubts whether its entry into the European market would be worthwhile, the source told Reuters.
