　　Toshiba Corp. is coming under pressure from one of its investors, Argyle Street Management, who has said that the sale price that was agreed with a Bain-led consortium significantly undervalues the chip unit.

Toshiba comes under investor pressure over memory sale

　　Argyle appears to want the deal renegotiated or cancelled, according to industry reports.

　　Toshiba was forced into looking at selling its memory business after racking up significant losses with its nuclear business.

　　Throughout most of 2017 Toshiba looked sell its memory chip business and in September of last year signed a $18billion deal with a consortium of acquirers led by Bain Capital and which also includes Apple, Dell, Korea's SK Hynix and the Hoya Corporation.

　　The deal missed a March 31 deadline, while still awaiting Chinese antitrust authority approval and. according to the terms of that agreement, Toshiba is now able to renegotiate or cancel it.

　　Argyle is suggesting that the memory division could be worth up to $40billion – Foxconn offered $30billion last year - but as yet it hasn’t generated support from other shareholders to force Toshiba to renegotiate or cancel.

Toshiba Building New Facility to Expand Power Semiconductor Production Capacity

　　Toshiba will construct a new back-end production facility for power semiconductors to boost its production capacity.　　Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corp. will construct a new back-end production facility for power semiconductors at its Himeji Operations – Semiconductor, in Hyogo Prefecture in western Japan. Construction will start in June 2024, with production scheduled to start in spring 2025. The project will more than double Toshiba’s automotive power semiconductor production capacity at Himeji, against fiscal 2022.　　Power devices are essential components for managing and reducing power consumption in all kinds of electronic equipment, and for saving energy. Above all other products, demand for low-voltage MOSFETs (metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors), a Toshiba focus technology, is expected to see continued growth with the progress of vehicle electrification and the automation of industrial equipment. Toshiba has decided to meet this demand growth with construction of the new back-end facility.　　Going forward, Toshiba will expand its power semiconductor business and boost competitiveness by offering high efficiency, high reliability products in response to fast growing demand, and to contribute to carbon neutrality.

Toshiba announces next-generation superjunction power MOSFETs

Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (“Toshiba”) has launched a new series of next-generation 650V power MOSFETs that are intended for use in server power supplies in data centers, solar (PV) power conditioners, uninterruptible power systems (UPS) and other industrial applications.The first device in the DTMOS VI series is the TK040N65Z, a 650V device that supports continuous drain currents (ID) up to 57A and 228A when pulsed (IDP). The new device offers an ultra-low drain-source on-resistance RDS(ON) of 0.04Ω (0.033Ω typ.) which reduces losses in power applications. The enhancement mode device is ideal for use in modern high-speed power supplies, due to the reduced capacitance in the design.Power supply efficiency is improved as a result of reductions in the key performance index / figure-of-merit (FoM) – RDS(ON) x Qgd. The TK040N65Z shows a 40% improvement in this important metric over the previous DTMOS IV-H device, which represents a significant gain in power supply efficiency in the region of 0.36%[1] – as measured in a 2.5kW PFC circuit.The new device is housed in an industry-standard TO-247 package, ensuring compatibility with legacy designs as well as suitability for new projects.Toshiba will continue to expand their product lineup to meet market trends and help improve the efficiency of power supplies and systems.The new device enters mass production today and shipments begin immediately.

Toshiba Memory Corporation develops 96-layer BiCS FLASH with QLC technology

Toshiba Memory Corporation today announced that it has developed a prototype sample of 96-layer BiCS FLASH, its proprietary 3D flash memory, with 4-bit-per-cell (quad level cell, QLC) technology that boosts single-chip memory capacity to the highest level yet achieved.Toshiba Memory will start to deliver samples to SSD and SSD controller manufacturers for evaluation from the beginning of September, and expects to start mass production in 2019.The advantage of QLC technology is pushing the bit count for data per memory cell from three to four and significantly expanding capacity. The new product achieves the industry’s maximum capacity [1] of 1.33 terabits for a single chip which was jointly developed with Western Digital Corporation.This also realizes an unparalleled capacity of 2.66 terabytes with a 16-chip stacked architecture in one package. The huge volumes of data generated by mobile terminals and the like continue to increase with the spread of SNS and progress in IoT, and the need to analyze and utilize that data in real time is expected to increase dramatically. That will require even faster than HDD, larger capacity storage and QLC products using the 96-layer process will contribute a solution.A packaged prototype of the new device will be exhibited at the 2018 Flash Memory Summit in Santa Clara, California, USA from August 6th to 9th.Looking to the future, Toshiba Memory will continue to improve memory capacity and performance and to develop 3D flash memories that meet diverse market needs, including the fast expanding data center storage market.
