Ltd. announced that it will build a new power semiconductor back-end production facility at its Himeji Semiconductor Plant in Hyogo Prefecture, western Japan.
Construction of the new facility will begin in June 2024, with production scheduled to begin in the spring of 2025. The project will more than double Toshiba’s onboard power semiconductor production capacity at the Himeji plant compared to fiscal 2022.
Power devices are critical components used to manage and reduce power consumption and conserve energy in a variety of electronic equipment. Most importantly, with the electrification of automobiles and the automation of industrial equipment, the market demand for Toshiba’s key technology, low-voltage MOSFETs (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors), is expected to continue to grow more than all other products. Toshiba has decided to meet this growing demand by building new back-end production facilities.
Going forward, Toshiba will expand its power semiconductor business and improve competitiveness by providing high-efficiency, high-reliability products to meet rapidly growing demand and contribute to carbon neutrality.
