A Renesas-owned Naka chip plant in northeast Japan was hit by fire earlier this month due to a power surge in one of the machines, putting more pressure on the broader chips industry amid a global shortage of semiconductors. ― Reuters picTOKYO, March 30 ― Japan has asked some Taiwanese manufacturers to cooperate in alternative production of semiconductors, industry minister Hiroshi Kajiyama said today, after a chip plant owned by Renesas Electronic Corp was hit by a fire this month.
The company, which has about a 30 per cent share of the global market for microcontroller unit chips used in cars, had initially said 11 machines were damaged in the fire, but today said 23 machines need to be replaced. He added that any short-term shipment of alternative chip production was impossible and the company would recuperate losses in the six months ending December.
