The Kanto Electricity Limit Period is coming. Japan Semiconductor plans to relocate to Kansai.

Forced by the power shortage in Japan in the summer, many semiconductor manufacturers have to re-examine the existing operating mechanism. For example, Renesas Electronics and Toshiba decided to temporarily transport semiconductor testing equipment from Kanto Kanagawa Prefecture to the Kansai region. . Tokyo Electron Ltd, the maker of semiconductor equipment, also rushed to move the research department overseas. Japan began to fight energy-saving and power-saving operations across the country. High-power semiconductor manufacturing equipment plays an important role.

In addition to cleanrooms that must operate 24 hours a day without interruption, other manufacturing equipment is within the scope of power cuts. Semiconductor manufacturers must often avoid peak periods and shift the process to off-peak hours, causing inconvenience.

Renesas delivered the Burn-In Testing machine from the Tamagawa Work Station in Kawasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture to Kawasaki Plant in Kumamoto City, Kyushu. At the same time, Toshiba is launching the relocation of power semiconductor device development equipment from Kawasaki. The City Research Center transported to the Kansai Plant to reduce the burden on the Kanto region's power supply. On the other hand, it shortened the distance between the research department and the manufacturing department, which will help improve product development efficiency.

Tokyo Powertrain will also transfer the Yamanashi Research Institute in advance to Taiwan, the United States, and South Korea where many foreign customers are located. A number of cooperative development plans are underway between Veritics and foreign companies, and the relocation of research institutes is convenient for both parties to communicate.
