According to Nihon Keizai Shimbun reports, TSMC plans to manufacture 6nm high-end semiconductors in Japan, which will be produced at the Kumamoto Second Factory under discussion, with a total investment of approximately 2 trillion yen, Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry is considering providing up to 900 billion yen in financial support.
The Japanese government will include semiconductor support measures, including TSMC’s new factory, in its economic policy as soon as October. Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has included a total of 3.355 trillion yen in the 2023 supplementary budget and will increase the “post-5G fund” and “cutting-edge semiconductor fund” to support semiconductors. The final amount will then be determined in consultation with the Japanese Ministry of Finance.
According to reports, currently, Japan can only independently produce semiconductors at the 40nm level, and the addition of TSMC will undoubtedly greatly improve the level of manufacturing processes. TSMC will start building its first semiconductor factory in Kumamoto in April 2022. The total investment is expected to be about 1.2 trillion yen and it will mass-produce 12-28nm semiconductors.
The second factory to produce cutting-edge products is expected to start construction before the summer of 2024 and start mass production in 2027. It strives to produce about 60,000 units per month. It is expected to mass-produce 6nm and 12nm computing logic semiconductors and plans to sell them to Sony Group and others. The new second factory will exceed the first factory in terms of investment scale and product performance.
