IN BRIEF: Infineon Seeks $705 Million State Aid.

Infineon Calls for State Help

Infineon Technologies, one of the largest makers of semiconductors and the second largest semi company in Europe, has asked the German government to guarantee €500 million ($705 million) in loans, reports Financial Times.

Infineon has reported losses amid falling sales. Big customers – makers of automobiles in particular – have reduced orders as recession-hit consumers have stopped buying their products, FT said. Recently, Infineon admitted to having trouble securing follow-on financing for €900m in loans and bonds coming due over the next 18 months.
