Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) is making remarkable strides in its $8 billion chip plant project in Kumamoto, Japan.
Contrary to challenges faced in the U.S., the Kumamoto project is surpassing expectations, with tool installations scheduled to commence this October and full-scale production slated for 2024. TSMC’s success in Japan can be attributed to the proactive support from the Japanese government and streamlined regulations, enabling swift progress.
This development in Japan is a part of TSMC’s broader strategy to diversify its production footprint globally, acknowledging the significance of meeting diverse customer demands. The company emphasizes the incomparability of projects in different countries due to varying scopes, locations, and setups.
Construction for the research facilities, set to commence this summer at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology in Tsukuba, near Tokyo, marks a pivotal step. The project, slated to begin in 2022, has garnered substantial financial backing from the Japanese government, with support from companies like Asahi Kasei, Mitsui Chemicals, and Sumitomo Chemical.
