Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation plans to build a new power semiconductor production plant at its Himeji facility in western Japan. The facility, which is expected to be operational in spring 2025, will more than double Toshiba’s automotive power semiconductor production capacity in Himeji.
Power devices are essential components for managing and reducing power consumption in electronic equipment, and demand for low-voltage MOSFETs is expected to increase with the advancement of vehicle electrification and automation of industrial equipment. In response to this expected growth in demand, Toshiba has decided to build the new back-end facility.
