Toshiba may raise 2000/01 chip capex to Y170 bln Tuesday August 22, 7:59 pm Eastern Time TOKYO, Aug 23 (Reuters) - Japanese chip maker Toshiba Corp said on Wednesday it is considering raising its semiconductor capital investment to about 170 billion yen for the business year to next March from its original plan of 130 billion yen. The move reflects rising demand for semiconductors, particularly system LSI (large-scale integration) and flash memories for mobile telephones and digital electronics, a spokewoman said. The news came before the Tokyo stock market opened on Wednesday. In the previous session, the shares ended 7.2 percent higher at 1,108 yen, extending a rally that has brought higher closes in eight of the last nine sessions. biz.yahoo.com
