Infineon as well, but all those EU semi companies mostly make cheap low margin chips that more or less compete with the commodity chips of China and Taiwan but not with the IP from the US or even Israel who designs and sometimes also makes mostly high margin CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, switching fabric, cellular modems, etc stuff that the EU uses and imports a lot but has no domestic players in.
In that regard yes, the EU semi industry is kind of a wasteland, considering how big the EU and how small its semi industry is.
