Hitachi Toshiba and Renesas semiconductor foundry business began planning

By Hitachi, Toshiba and Renesas technology three companies will jointly planning the use of cutting-edge technology independent semiconductor foundry business. At the same time, the three companies also envisaged their production will be entrusted to the newly established company. In the semiconductor foundry business planning process, the three companies will be in accordance with the direction of the joint establishment of the preparatory company to negotiate. Currently the company has not yet identified the framework. In addition, the location of the plant as well as the key technologies used by the technology are not determined.

The idea of the OEM as offensive strategy of Japanese semiconductor manufacturers by the industry wide concern, the reason is: recently in the semiconductor business competitiveness, Japanese manufacturers behind Samsung and TI and other competitors. In the stage of the negotiations, Fujitsu, NEC electronics and Panasonic industries are also involved, but in the end of the list of cooperation did not appear in these companies. A Japanese semiconductor manufacturers official said: why do we have to jointly carry out the semiconductor foundry business? Is it not alone?" Think at this stage of Japan's major semiconductor manufacturers have not reached the point of concentric cooperation. The publication is very hasty.
