Japanese lawmaker said on Friday that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co, the world’s largest contract chip maker, is considering building a second plant in Japan in addition to an $8.6 billion dollar facility under construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yoshihiro Seki<\/strong>, secretary general of a ruling party lawmakers group on chip industry strategy, also urged that Japan’s government, which has pledged to provide up to $3.6 billion in subsidies for the first TSMC plant, provide a favourable environment for investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “I believe TSMC is looking into further investments in Japan. We need to create an environment that would make them think they want to do advanced projects with us,”<\/p>Seki told Reuters in an interview.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n The Taiwanese company is building a chip plant in southern Japan, with Sony Group and auto parts maker Denso each taking a minority stake. Production is due to start in late 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n TSMC is also investing $40 billion in a U.S. chipmaking plant in Arizona, and according to the Financial Times is in talks with suppliers about possibly setting up its first European plant, as it diversifies<\/strong> its production base and addresses global demand for semiconductors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Japan’s Liberal Democratic Party is advocating for Japan to strengthen its semiconductor industry, which has fallen to less than a 10% share<\/strong> of the global market by revenue from more than half in the late 1980s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “We cannot be successful unless the public and private sectors act as one unified body.”<\/span><\/p>Seki said.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n In a policy speech in October, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida<\/strong> positioned semiconductors as pivotal to Japan’s economic security and pledged to funnel public and private investments into the industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Japanese lawmaker said on Friday that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co, the world’s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1068,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/yareport.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1067"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/yareport.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/yareport.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yareport.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yareport.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1067"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/yareport.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1067\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1070,"href":"https:\/\/yareport.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1067\/revisions\/1070"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yareport.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1068"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/yareport.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1067"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yareport.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1067"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yareport.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1067"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
