TSMC, the global foundry leader, has recently been repeatedly reported by Japanese media that it plans to build a semiconductor factory in Kumamoto, Japan. In this regard, Japan’s Mitsubishi Electric said that it is considering the foundry of power semiconductors. Find TSMC cooperation.
Japanese media recently reported that Mitsubishi Electric is considering cooperation with TSMC to manufacture power semiconductors. TSMC is rumored to be planning to build a semiconductor factory in Kumamoto, Japan. Takeshi Shiyama, president of Mitsubishi Electric, said in an interview with FujiSankei Businessi, “It is very close to the company’s (Mitsubishi Electric) factory and R&D base, and it is very important to cooperate in foundry. possible”.
The semiconductor manufacturing process can be roughly divided into “front-end process” for forming circuits on silicon wafers and “back-end process” for assembly, packaging and testing, etc. Mitsubishi Electric has a main front-end process factory in Koshi City, Kumamoto Prefecture and Fukuoka City The main factory and R&D base of the back-end process, and because of the increasing demand for power semiconductors, Mitsubishi Electric acquired the land and factories in Sharp and Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture last year, which will be used as the production base of the front-end process to start production this fall.
The report pointed out that huge investment must be made to increase production capacity. Therefore, in the previous process, Mitsubishi Electric has entrusted the surface processing part to the wafer foundry in Taiwan, China. Therefore, if TSMC really builds a factory in Kumamoto, Mitsubishi Electric will be based on To diversify risk considerations, consider entrusting the surface processing production of the front-end process to TSMC.
Mitsubishi Electric has a main factory responsible for the front-end process of silicon wafers in Kumamoto Prefecture, and a factory and R&D base responsible for the back-end process in Fukuoka Prefecture. The company is optimistic about future demand. Last year, it bought Sharp’s factory and land in Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture, and plans to start the front-end manufacturing process this fall.
Mitsubishi Electric is a member of the Mitsubishi Electric Group and is engaged in the R&D and manufacturing of power semiconductors. Due to the accelerated global trend of carbon reduction, the demand for power semiconductors as core components of electric vehicles (EVs) will increase in the future. At present, Japanese manufacturers have a certain sense of presence in the power semiconductor market. Mitsubishi Electric, Fuji Electric, Toshiba and other three manufacturers together hold 20% of the global market share.
