Damage from fire at Renesas factory turned out to be more than initially thought
Japan’s Renesas Electronics said today that the damage from a recent fire at its chip factory was greater than previously thought. The fire damaged not 11, but 17 installations used in semiconductor production.
Recall that a fire at a factory in Naka, Japan, broke out on March 19. As a result, the production lines used for serial production of microcircuits using semiconductor wafers with a diameter of 300 mm were damaged.
On March 21, Renesas management assured that the company will make every effort to resume production within a month. At that time, damage to 11 vehicles was confirmed, but subsequent inspections showed that more equipment was damaged by combustion products. According to the manufacturer, it is already trying to purchase replacement equipment – both new and used. In this he is assisted by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan. An updated estimate of the amount of damage should be published tomorrow.
According to various estimates, Renesas occupies 20-30% of the world market for microcontrollers, including those used in cars. The fire will exacerbate the chip shortage, already forcing many automakers to suspend assembly of cars.
