TOKYO — Renesas Electronics Corp. will resume production by April 19 at a chipmaking factory in eastern Japan that suffered a fire last month, the Asahi newspaper reported on Friday.
The production stoppage has caused a major supply disruption for automakers around the world already hit by a chip shortage due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Asahi reported it would take two more months, until late June, before chip production returns to pre-fire levels at Renesas.
