It is reported that Japan Rohm acquired Sabic's functional business , involving plastics including PC and PMMA. EUROPLEX sheet from Rohm is well-known in the industry for its proven and powerful functions.
In November this year, it was reported that Rohm will mass-produce next-generation semiconductors. Immediately afterwards, ROHM mass-produced SiC power semiconductors in recent days, increasing the mileage of EVs and challenging Infineon's status. In 2019, Rohm acquired Panasonic's semiconductor business, but suffered a loss. Fortunately, through this acquisition, Rohm further expanded its market share. In 2013, Rohm launched the "Four Strategies" to plan for the future, and now Rohm's business development has reached the expectations at that time.
It is understood that PC film has excellent physical and mechanical properties, excellent impact resistance, high tensile strength, bending strength, compressive strength, good heat resistance and low temperature resistance, and is a product that will be applied in many fields now.
In 2021, Sabic acquired ge of the United States, and also launched LEXAN™ polycarbonate film and sheet.
The material is ISCC certified and produced using renewable raw materials. Recently, Sabic has also introduced a new copolymer resin for photovoltaic connectors, achieving the highest relative tracking index (CTI) level, which outperforms glass-reinforced nylon and PPE. Now that a major PC business under Sabic is about to be acquired by Rohm, it means that Sabic's functional business will be further optimized at this stage.
According to media reports, Japan's Rohm also acquired Germany's SICrystal. Obviously, the substrates of the silicon carbide industry chain are none other than Japan's Rohm and America's II-VI.
· ROHM, which started as a manufacturer of small electronic components in Kyoto in 1958, gradually entered the field of semiconductors such as transistors and diodes and ICs in 1967 and 1969.
· News came in November this year that Rohm cooperated with Basic Semiconductor to develop automotive-grade silicon carbide power semiconductors.
· However, Rohm, a Japanese semiconductor giant, said that he would not choose to invest and build factories in Europe.
· But even so, Rohm still relies on its strong strength to improve power consumption efficiency and increase the cruising range of electric vehicles in the development of next-generation semiconductors.
