According to news on September 13, Toshiba Electronic Components and Storage Devices, a subsidiary of Japan’s Toshiba Semiconductor Business, announced on September 12 that one of its MCU microcontroller factories was suspended on September 11 due to a power outage during facility inspections. It is estimated that it will wait until Full resumption of work will take place on September 17 (production will return to the level before the power outage).

According to the data, the semiconductor factory that was shut down by the power outage was Toshiba Group's "Japan Semiconductor" Iwate Office, which is mainly engaged in the business of electronic components and storage products.

Regarding the power outage and shutdown, Toshiba Electronic Components and Storage Co., Ltd. said it was evaluating the damage to semi-finished products.

It is reported that the factory that was shut down due to the power outage this time is the Iwate Works of Toshiba Group, which mainly produces general-purpose MCUs used in vehicle-mounted equipment and consumer products. The company claims that the power outage did not cause damage to the production equipment at the Iwate Works. Japanese media pointed out that this power outage will not only scrap some semi-finished products that are being produced on the production line, but it will still take time to resume work, so it is estimated that shipments to customers will be affected.
