Power devices are essential components to manage and reduce the energy consumption of all types of electronic equipment and to achieve a carbon neutral society. Current demand is growing on vehicle electrification and industrial equipment automation, with very high demand for low voltage MOSFETs (metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors) and IGBTs (insulated gate bipolar transistors) and other devices. To date, Toshiba has responded to this growth in demand by increasing production capacity on 200 millimeter lines and accelerating the start of production on 300 millimeter production lines from the first half of the fiscal year. 2023. [2] until the second half of fiscal 2022. Decisions on overall new fab capacity and equipment investment, production start-up, production capacity and production plan will reflect market trends.
The new plant will have an earthquake-absorbing structure; improved BCP systems, including dual feed lines; and the latest energy efficient manufacturing equipment to reduce environmental loads. It will also aim to achieve the “RE100” objective of 100% use of renewable energies. Product quality and production efficiency will be improved through the introduction of artificial intelligence and automated wafer transport systems.
Going forward, Toshiba will expand its power semiconductor business and strengthen its competitiveness through timely investment and research and development that will enable it to meet rapidly growing demand and contribute to a low-income society. energy consumption and carbon neutrality.
