Sony has officially announced its acquisition of a Japanese factory operated by Renesas Electronics, the plant which produces Wii U’s embedded DRAM. Going forward, the factory will be known as the Yamagata Technology Center under Sony Semiconductor Corp.

Renesas will need to transfer its Tsuruoka assets to Sony by March 31. Sony Semiconductor Corp. will still produce some semiconductors (which may include Wii U’s eDRAM chip) “for a certain period of time,” but will eventually move manufacturing to its Naka plant or completely cease production.
