Kioxia semiconductor production increased independent of Toshiba to build manufacturing building in Mie Prefecture October 29, 11:17
Kioxia, a semiconductor manufacturer independent of Toshiba, has decided to build a new manufacturing building at its factory in Yokkaichi City, Mie Prefecture from next spring in order to increase production of semiconductors for storage, for which demand is expected to grow.
According to the announcement, Kioxia, a semiconductor manufacturer independent of Toshiba, will build a new manufacturing building at its factory in Yokkaichi City, Mie Prefecture, in order to increase production of "NAND flash memory", a semiconductor for storage where demand is expected to grow. ..
Although the construction cost has not been disclosed, it is estimated to amount to 1 trillion yen, and the area of the first floor is about 40,000 square meters, which is the largest scale in this factory.
The construction will be divided into two phases, and the first phase will start in the spring of next year and will be completed in the spring of the next year.
With the spread of high-speed, large-capacity communication standard 5G in the future, demand for "NAND flash memory" is expected to grow in smartphones and data centers, and fierce development competition is taking place.
Kioxia aims to compete with overseas manufacturers such as South Korea and China by mass-producing cutting-edge products that can record a lot of data.
