Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) is set to produce 6-nanometer chips at its second plant in Japan.
This new facility, located at TSMC’s Kumamoto site in southwestern Japan, represents a total investment of $13.3 billion. The Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry is reportedly considering subsidies of up to $6 billion to support this venture.
Construction of the second plant is slated to begin next summer, with mass production expected to commence in 2027. TSMC aims to produce approximately 60,000 units per month, manufacturing both 6-nanometer and 12-nanometer logic semiconductors. Major customers, including Sony Group, are set to benefit from this production.
Furthermore, Intel is set to receive 50 billion yen in subsidies for research and development focusing on back-end processes like assembly and packaging. Collaborating with Japanese semiconductor material manufacturers, Intel aims to develop automated packaging technology for high-tech chips. Sony, a key supplier of image sensors for Apple’s iPhone, will receive 310 billion yen in subsidies to ramp up production and meet rising global demands.
This move comes amidst global efforts to boost domestic chip production. The U.S. and the EU have also earmarked significant funds for their semiconductor industries, with TSMC and Intel already announcing new production plans in various countries, supported by European subsidies.Gizmochina brings you the best of Chinese Tech from emerging smartphone companies, innovative startups, to crazy smart home products and revolutionary technologies.
