As the global automotive semiconductor supply chai continues to feel the brunt of capacity restraints at foundries, Japanese chipmaker Renesas Electronics outlined that the fire at its chipmaking plant has damaged more machines than previously estimated. Renesas, whose facility in the Naka city of the Ibaraki prefecture partially suspended chipmaking earlier this month due to a fire, now believe that as many as 17 of its chipmaking machines will be put out of operation due to the fire, up from the 11 machines that it had anticipated earlier.
