As per a report by Nikkei, the Japanese government was set to finalize a plan in which it has enlisted TSMC to develop cutting-edge chipmaking technologies in Japan. 

TSMC, the world’s biggest contract chipmaker, intends to bear around half the project’s cost of about 37 billion yen ($337 million), the remaining half of which will be incurred by the Japanese government. 

The report further explains that the construction of a trial facility will begin this year in Tsukuba, Ibaraki Prefecture. Full-blown research and development work will begin as early as 2022.

In February, TSMC had revealed that it would invest around $178 million in opening a material research subsidiary in Japan. 

The Japanese government intends to establish a joint public-private sector concern to cooperate with TSMC, added Nikkei. 

The Japanese government has also recently announced that it would be increasing expenditure on locally producing chips for its companies, a move which it believes will also help it to emerge as a key player in the semiconductor chip market, which so far, is largely dominated by Taiwan.
