Toshiba to expand power semi production
Project will more than double Toshiba’s automotive power semiconductor production capacity at Himeji
Toshiba 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.
Demand for low-voltage MOSFETs, 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.
