TANAKA Denshi Kogyo to Establish New Plant in Kaohsiung, Taiwan
December 8, 2021 | ACN NewswireEstimated reading time: 1 minute
TANAKA Holdings Co., Ltd. has announced that its subsidiary TANAKA Denshi Kogyo K.K., which is engaged in the production of various types of bonding wires, will establish a new plant in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan, for the production of high-performance palladium coated copper bonding wires (PCC wires). The plant is scheduled to commence operations in the first half of 2022.
Construction of this new plant forms part of TANAKA Denshi Kogyo's plans to increase its production capacity for PCC wires by approximately 1.5-fold by 2025 in order to meet the growing global demand for semiconductors
TANAKA Denshi Kogyo has been producing PCC wires at its subsidiary in Taoyuan City, Taiwan, since 2011, while it also operates a technical support base in Kaohsiung City. The company is now building a third Taiwanese base so that it can establish stable supply systems capable of meeting the growing demand.
Bonding wires are high-purity metal wires that connect semiconductor devices to lead electrodes. Previously, bonding wires were largely made of gold. However, the use of semiconductors has increased as they are being used not only in computers, mobile phones, and other electrical products but also in household appliances and automobiles. As the number of commonly used electrical devices containing semiconductors has increased, demand has grown for more affordable PCC wires that perform similar to gold bonding wires.
The COVID-19 outbreak has upset the balance of global supply and demand for semiconductors, resulting in a worsening shortage of semiconductors. Bonding wires are an important peripheral material for the semiconductor industry, and establishing systems for the stable supply of high-quality bonding wires has become a matter of urgency.
TANAKA Denshi Kogyo is a leading manufacturer of bonding wires and intends to contribute to the semiconductor industry by supplying countries around the world even in states of emergency.

Heavy Copper PCBs: Bridging the Gap Between Design and Fabrication, Part 1
04/01/2024 | Yash Sutariya, Saturn Electronics ServicesThey call me Sparky. This is due to my talent for getting shocked by a variety of voltages and because I cannot seem to keep my hands out of power control cabinets. While I do not have the time to throw the knife switch to the off position, that doesn’t stop me from sticking screwdrivers into the fuse boxes. In all honesty, I’m lucky to be alive. Fortunately, I also have a talent for building high-voltage heavy copper circuit boards. Since this is where I spend most of my time, I can guide you through some potential design for manufacturability (DFM) hazards you may encounter with heavy copper design.
