Denso Corp. announced that they will report fiscal year 2013 results at 11:20 AM, Tokyo Standard Time on Apr 26, 2013

Denso Corp. announced that it has signed a licensing agreement for its Super Junction Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (SJ MOS) transistor manufacturing technology, with Tokyo-based New Japan Radio Co. Ltd. - a company that manufactures semiconductors and electronic components. DENSO's new technology realizes a power semiconductor device with the world's lowest level of on-resistance, which results in an improvement in efficiency and a smaller power device. Developed with DENSO's own technology, the new SJ MOS transistor can be used to increase the energy efficiency of personal computer AC adapters, servers, in-vehicle power converters, and other devices, while also making them smaller in size. Also, the new transistor involves fewer fabrication steps than those made by conventional SJ MOS fabrication technologies, which reduces the manufacturing cost.
