Toshiba announced a series of measures to transform its System LSI business, with the goal of boosting profitability by switching to fabless and fablite models, effective on January 1, 2011. The main focus has been on promoting analog ICs, CMOS image sensors and digital SoCs, discontinuing unprofitable products, and restructuring the back-end process through consolidation and increasing overseas production ratio.
The System LSI division will be reorganized into two: the Logic LSI Division, and the Analog and Imaging IC Division. The Analog and Imaging IC Division will concentrate on analog ICs and imaging ICs, particularly CMOS image sensors, and use existing production lines at Oita Operations, including 300mm wafer lines, and Iwate Toshiba Electronics Co., Ltd.
