The technology leader in high definition products and the world's no. 2 manufacturer of NAND flash memory chips, Toshiba Corp., plans to outsource a part of the production of its next-generation 28-nanometer (nm) system chips.

According to industry sources, the chips will be used in a wide range of electronics such as game consoles, digital cameras, flat panel TVs and other electronic gadgets starting in April 2010. To meet demand by that period, Toshiba will have to ramp up production. Its customers include IT giants like Apple (AAPL), which has already purchased $500 million worth flash memory chips from Toshiba.

Toshiba currently manufactures chips at its plant in Oita, southern Japan and plans to outsource to expand its production if capacity is insufficient.

According to sources, Toshiba is holding discussion with Singapore’s Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing Ltd. (CHRT) and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) to spin off Globalfoundries

In order to meet the growing global demand for accessing digital terrestrial television services, STMicroelectronics NV (STM) recently introduced a single-chip DVB-T silicon tuner that enables manufacturers to simplify product assembly and supply-chain management.

As consumers switch from analog to digital television broadcasting, the demand for digital set-top boxes and integrated digital televisions (iDTVs) is on the rise. This transition has already taken place in nine countries, including the USA, parts of Europe and Scandinavia, and is underway in other nations.

With its STV4100, the company offers complete chipsets for digital-terrestrial receivers, including the tuner and a choice of demodulators, MPEG decoders and combined demodulator/decoder ICs.

Silicon tuners are replacing those supplied by third-party providers, which combine multiple discrete components in a metal enclosure and must be individually adjusted for optimum performance. STMicroelectronics’ new device saves up to 30 separate components, has a compact QFN 5 x 5mm

The financial downturn and global recession has hit the semiconductor industry hard. Orders for microchips were almost non-existent at the end of 2008 as computers and mobile phones languished unsold on retailers’ shelves. According to the Semiconductor Industry Association, global semiconductor sales fell 2.8 percent last year and are expected to fall a further 21.5 percent to $195.6 billion this year.

The semiconductor industry is used to severe cycles. It has seen six significant cycles since the 1970s caused by recessions and oversupply. The last one, when the dotcom bubble burst in 2001, saw sales plunge 45 percent. But this time, it’s different. Strategic issues, such as soaring development costs and the intensifying need to innovate, have combined with the effects of the global recession and are unleashing forces that will reshape the entire industry.

One of the traditional driving forces of the semiconductor industry – computer sales – has been slowing

Semiconductor Industry Trying to Survive

The financial downturn and global recession has hit the semiconductor industry hard.

Orders for microchips were almost non-existent at the end of 2008 as computers and mobile phones languished unsold on retailers’ shelves.

According to the Semiconductor Industry Association, global semiconductor sales fell 2.8 percent last year and are expected to fall a further 21.5 percent to $195.6 billion this year.

Despite the positive reaction in the stock market to the latest sales figures from Intel (INTC),the world’s biggest chipmaker, the numbers were mixed at best. Intel did enjoy a sales revival driven by consumers buying cheaper, smaller netbooks, but revenues fell in Europe and sales in the key business customer area were weak.
