A major Japanese semiconductor company has big plans for an upcoming expansion in Silicon Valley.
Tokyo-based Renesas Electronics Corporation -- one of the biggest makers of semiconductors in the world -- will be expanding on a 16-acre Silver Creek Valley Road campus. The company is expected to add 2,000 high tech jobs.
The company's South San Jose campus will focus on emerging technologies to run future devices like self-driving cars, which are already coming out of Silicon Valley. "If it has a battery or power cord, it probably has a semiconductor," tech analyst Larry Magid told KPIX. He said semiconductors are what helped give the area its name.
