January 3, 2024 /SemiMedia/ -- ROHM Semiconductor announced that it has completed the acquisition of Solar Frontier’s former Kokutomi plant assets in Japan on November 7, 2023.

The plant will be operated by LAPIS Semiconductor, a subsidiary of the ROHM Group, as its second Miyazaki plant. It will become the Group's main production site for SiC power devices and is aiming to start operation in 2024.

“This acquisition enables a fast production expansion by utilizing existing infrastructure. This way, ROHM will continue to supply its customers quickly and reliably,” states Wolfram Harnack, President at ROHM Semiconductor Europe.
