The global semiconductor giant Taiwan Integral Circuit Manufacturing Company (TSMC, hereinafter referred to as TSMC ) announced on October 14 that it plans to start construction of a new factory in Japan in 2022 and start production in 2024.
According to Japan Kyodo News on October 15, TSMC's new factory is planned to be built in Kumamoto Prefecture, and is coordinating with the Japanese side on this. According to reports, TSMC will jointly build with Sony Group and plans to produce automotive semiconductors, etc. Japanese auto parts giant Denso is also considering participating. This will be the first time that TSMC has set up a production base in Japan.
Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio said at a press conference on the 14th that "the large-scale private investment support for TSMC will be written into economic countermeasures." Kyodo News reported that the construction fee is expected to reach up to 800 billion yen, and the government is considering providing about half of the support, hoping to write it into the 2021 supplementary budget compiled after the election of the House of Representatives .
Nikkei reported that in the context of chip shortage, the Japanese government is increasingly concerned about maintaining supply chain stability and will support the project in a subsidized manner. As early as the 2010s, Japanese chip manufacturers had withdrawn from the competition for large-scale chip development, and Japan hopes to revive the production of advanced Japanese products by accepting direct investment from TSMC.
In July this year, TSMC CEO Wei Zhejia said that TSMC is preparing to establish its first chip manufacturing factory in Japan and is conducting due diligence.
Against the backdrop of global chip shortage, TSMC is promoting the opening of new factories in the United States, Japan and other places. TSMC is also a major supplier of Sony and other Japanese chip manufacturers.
