Toshiba will build a cutting-edge 300-millimeter fabrication plant in central Japan to make power management chips. These chips are mainly used to control the electric power of cars, electronics devices and industrial parts.
It is planned to start chip production from this new factory by March 2025. When the first phase will be completed, Toshiba’s chip production capacity will be two and a half times higher than at present.
