iPhone component maker Murata Electronic of Japan has commenced production at OneHub Chennai Industrial Park to manufacture multilayer ceramic capacitors. This facility, first for the company in India, will focus on packaging and shipping multilayer ceramic capacitors, marking a significant move towards establishing advanced manufacturing capabilities in India.
Tamil Nadu’s Industries Minister TRB Rajaa welcoming Murata to Tamil Nadu in a social media, said “A global leader in advanced electronic components, with a 40 per cent share in multilayer ceramic capacitors, whose components power smartphones in our pockets to NASA’s Mars helicopter – they are right here in Tamil Nadu.”
“Look carefully at the 3rd Picture. Do you spot the First MLCC chip. Zoom in. That is 0.25×0.125 mm chip looks like a spec of dust. personal saw a 1 mm X 0.5 mm chip being mounted onto a tape and to think that that chip has 200 layers in it is just astounding. This is the kind of niche manufacturing that Tamil Nadu is building today with the help of our Japanese partners,” he said.
