Japan Semiconductor Device Industry Overview
Japan Semiconductor Device Market fragmented with the presence of major players like Intel Corporation, Nvidia Corporation, Kyocera Corporation, Qualcomm Technologies Inc., and STMicroelectronics NV. Players in the market are adopting strategies such as partnerships and acquisitions to enhance their product offerings and gain sustainable competitive advantage.
- December 2022: Mitsubishi Electric Corporation announced that its new SLIMDIP-Z power semiconductor module would be available in February 2023, with an extra-high 30A rated current for use in inverter systems of home appliances. The small module will enable the SLIMDIPTM series to meet a broader range of power and size requirements for inverter units, specifically by simplifying and downsizing systems for multifunctional and sophisticated products like air conditioners, washing machines, and refrigerators.
- July 2022: Japan established an R&D center for next-generation 2-nanometer chips in collaboration with the United States to develop secure chip supply chains amid tensions surrounding industry leader Taiwan. The facility was established by a new Japanese chip research institution, which is set to open this year and will use equipment and talent from the planned US National Semiconductor Technology Centre. The R&D center included a prototype production line to mass-produce the chips in the United States as early as 2025.
