Renesas Technology has invested ¥4 billion in a new building to increase microcontroller (MCU) production capacity at the back-end process plant of Renesas Semiconductor (Beijing) Co., Ltd. (RSB), in Beijing, China.
Renesas plans to expand production of MCUs, its core business, and further strengthen its position in the global MCU market. The company is aiming to target the Chinese MCU market, which continues to grow very strongly, in a move designed to increase market share. Against this background, work on the new building has been proceeding in order to enable RSB, an MCU back-end facility, to meet growing demand.
Plans call for operations to commence at the new RSB building within the 2010 financial year (ended March 2011). Once in operation the production area of the plant will be further expanded by approximately 60%, from its current 18,000 m2 to 29,000 m2. Production at RSB, consisting of MCUs, mixed-signal devices, etc., is expected to increase substantially, growing from the current output (January 2010) of approximately 65 million units per month to over 100 million units per month by the end of 2010.
Using the newly expanded RSB, which will be one of the world’s largest MCU back-end facilities, as a base, Renesas Technology has said that it will use it to continue to strengthen its MCU business and its China business in general.
