Announcement on Organization Changes and Personnel Changes
Tokyo Electron (TEL) announces the following changes in organization and personnel.
1 Changes in Division and BU*1 Organization Effective on April 1st, 2023
Riding the wave of the major trends of digitalization and global environment preservation, semiconductors have now entered a phase of elevated growth. In addition to existing fields of advanced technology, a number of new technology segments are emerging, including the metaverse, electric vehicles, higher levels of autonomous mobility, digital transformation (DX), green transformation (GX) and all the IoT and communication devices necessary for their implementation. These technology segments are spurring the diversification of semiconductor chips. We refer to this newly diversifying semiconductor market with the acronym MAGIC (Metaverse, Autonomous mobility, Green energy, IoT & Information, Communications). We plan to thrive in this new market by leveraging our technological expertise cultivated in the most advanced fields as well as our experience of delivering a rich array of products.
This market segment has previously been served by our field solution business. However, considering the expanding horizon of technological needs and the importance of proactively contributing to the diversification of semiconductor innovations, we have decided to create the Diverse Systems and Solutions (DSS) BU by integrating the FS*2 BU and the FPD*3 BU to seek further business growth.
Going forward, our FPD business will intensify its focus on value-added areas including etching. We are suspending inkjet printing system development projects in reflection of their market growth potential and are allocating more resources to the MAGIC market where higher growth is anticipated.
We will keep contributing to innovations in semiconductor technology, while striving to achieve short-, medium-, and long-term profits as well as sustainable increases in corporate value.
BU: Business Unit
FS: Field Solution
FPD: Flat Panel Display
