KAWASAKI, Japan–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (“Toshiba”) heeft vandaag aangekondigd dat het een nieuwe back-end productiefaciliteit voor vermogenshalfgeleiders gaat bouwen bij Himeji Operations – Semiconductor in de prefectuur Hyogo in het westen van Japan. De bouw start in juni 2024 en de productie start volgens planning in het voorjaar van 2025. Het project zal Toshiba’s productiecapaciteit voor halfgeleiders voor de automobielsector in Himeji meer dan verdubbelen ten opzichte van het fiscale jaar 2022.

Voedingsapparaten zijn essentiële componenten voor het beheren en verminderen van het stroomverbruik in allerlei soorten elektronische apparatuur en voor het besparen van energie. Boven alle andere producten zal naar verwachting de vraag naar laagspannings-MOSFET’s (metaaloxide-halfgeleiderveld effecttransistors), een focustechnologie van Toshiba, blijven groeien met de voortschrijdende elektrificatie van voertuigen en de automatisering van industriële apparatuur. Toshiba heeft besloten om aan deze groei van de vraag te voldoen met de bouw van de nieuwe back-end faciliteit.

Toshiba to Expand Power Semiconductor Production Capacity with New Production Facility

KAWASAKI, Japan–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (“Toshiba”) today announced that it will construct a new back-end production facility for power semiconductors at its Himeji Operations – Semiconductor, in Hyogo Prefecture in western Japan. Construction will start in June 2024, with production scheduled to start in spring 2025. The project will more than double Toshiba’s automotive power semiconductor production capacity at Himeji, against fiscal 2022.

Power devices are essential components for managing and reducing power consumption in all kinds of electronic equipment, and for saving energy. Above all other products, demand for low-voltage MOSFETs (metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors), a Toshiba focus technology, is expected to see continued growth with the progress of vehicle electrification and the automation of industrial equipment. Toshiba has decided to meet this demand growth with construction of the new back-end facility.

Going forward, Toshiba will expand its power semiconductor business and boost competitiveness by offering high efficiency, high reliability products in response to fast growing demand, and to contribute to carbon neutrality.
