"Rohm’s semiconductors are increasing productivity for people around the world."

Semiconductors are materials used in day-to-day electrical appliances and electronic devices, whose electrical properties can be modulated⁹. They are at the heart of our digital world, in particular microprocessors and memory chips. Appliances that contain semiconductors include washing machines, refrigerators, LEDs, computers, smartphones, etc., as well as more global networks like communications, medical, logistics, etc.¹. They make it possible to harness, convert & transfer energy with the least loss of power, enabling responsive, robust, & efficient electricity use². Semiconductors can lead to a 2%-7% general energy-saving impact³. Thus, semiconductors are essential for humans & society as they enhance people’s lives by increasing their productivity^4;p1 & also by increasing the lifespan of the products that people buy¹.

In 2020, the global semiconductor market size was about USD425.96 billion (bn)⁵.

Rohm, a Japanese semiconductors manufacturing company had annual revenue of USD3.172bn as of March 2020^6;p53, representing 0.75% of the global semiconductor market size⁵. Rohm has the highest sales in Asia (52.8%), followed by Japan (35.6%), Europe (6%) & Americas (5.4%)^7;p2.

Rohm offers products like LSI (Motor drive Integrated Circuits (IC’s) ^6;p5, power supply ICs, sensor ICs, etc.), discrete semiconductor devices (DSD) & various modules, resistors, etc^6;p9-10. LSI’s help in reducing electrical power consumption & enhance the functionality of the device^6;p9. DSD’s perform single functionality⁸ & help in making the device compact^6;p10. Rhom's products are used in applications such as automotive (36%), consumer (33%), industrial (12%), computers & office automation (11%) & telecommunication (8%)^6;p11.

Rohm’s LSI, discrete semiconductor devices & various modules, resistors are increasing productivity for many people around the world.
