The company has realized quick turn around times by using single wafer processing* and world leading cost-performance with leading-edge technologies down to 0.13-micron. Trecenti aggressively operates a foundry business in response to customer's demands as well as manufacturing system LSIs, SRAMs and flash memories for Hitachi. Mr. Koike has been involved for start-up of the world's first 300mm fab and volume production as general manager of Manufacturing Technology Division since its inception. As of the president, Mr. Koike will continue to advance Trecenti's business. Toshio Nohara, the former president, stepped down as of 24 June and becomes Group Executive of Hitachi's Semiconductor & Integrated Circuits Group.
