Asahi Kasei Microdevices (AKM) traces its roots to the 1980s, when the
Asahi Kasei Group began developing its semiconductor business. Since
then, we have continued to grow by providing customers with unique
products which combine elements based on compound semiconductor
technology used for magnetic sensors with ASIC technology based on
silicon semiconductors. In recent years, we are making new proposals to
meet the needs of the IoT era by focusing particularly on sensing and
voice solutions incorporating software technology, as well as various
solutions of invisible optics utilizing compound semiconductor
technology.
Among individual products, our magnetic sensors for
controlling motor rotation, and our audio & voice ICs that provide
high-quality sound with low power consumption, have gained strong
recognition among customers around the world, and azimuth angle sensors
(e-compasses) that are essential for mobile devices such as smartphones
and tablets are also widely known as a product practically originated by
AKM. Moreover, AKM has continued to provide unique products to
customers such as sensor devices and
motor driver ICs used in image stabilization and autofocus systems for
cameras, infrared sensors featuring ultra-small size and fast response
for static human detection and CO2 detection—all combining
packaging, software engineering, testing, and implementation support
technology in addition to circuit technology and material technology.
In addition to products for mobile communications and consumer
electronics, we are also expanding in the fields of automotive
electronics, residential equipment, and industrial equipment. AKM
continues to advance while keeping track of the latest information in
the semiconductor industry for the Asahi Kasei Group as a comprehensive
manufacturer centered on chemistry, working in coordination with other
business units of Asahi Kasei to propose innovative new value.
Throughout our history of development and growth, we have always been
guided by the needs of our customers and end-users, and we remain
committed to working together with you to achieve the solutions that
truly meet your requirements and those of your customers. We look
forward to continuing to serve you with superior AKM products.
