Japanese semiconductor leader ROHM has entered into a global strategic partnership with India's Tata Electronics. The collaboration is focused on building a semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem in India, leveraging ROHM's advanced power semiconductor technology and Tata's established back-end packaging and testing capabilities.
The core of the partnership is technology complementarity. ROHM will provide its expertise in power device technology, while Tata Electronics will contribute its manufacturing infrastructure. Together, they aim to establish a framework for power semiconductor production within India. The alliance also involves integrating sales and distribution networks to offer high-value solutions and tap into new business opportunities in the growing Indian market.
Initial Phase Targets Automotive Power Chips
The first phase of the collaboration is clearly defined. Tata Electronics will assemble and test ROHM's India-designed automotive-grade 100V, 300A silicon MOSFET in a TOLL package. This high-specification power device is designed for demanding automotive applications, with mass production and shipments planned for next year. Looking ahead, the two companies plan to explore the joint development of advanced, high-value packaging technologies to deepen their cooperation.
