Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Xiao Zhan cut the clue delivery! CTOnews.com October 16 news, according to the Japanese economic news report, TSMC plans to manufacture 6nm high-end semiconductors in Japan, will be discussed in the construction of Kumamoto second plant production, the total investment of about 2 trillion yen (CTOnews.com Note: currently about 97.8 billion yuan), Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry to consider providing up to 900 billion yen (currently about 44.01 billion yuan) of financial support.

The Japanese government will include semiconductor support measures, including TSMC's new plant, in its economic policy, which will be introduced as soon as October. Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has included a total of 3.355 trillion yen (currently about 164.06 billion yuan) in its supplementary budget for 2023. It will increase the "post-5G fund" and "cutting-edge semiconductor fund" used to support semiconductors, and will then negotiate with Japan's Ministry of Finance to determine the final amount.

At present, Japan can only produce semiconductors at the 40nm level independently, and the addition of TSMC will undoubtedly greatly improve the process level. TSMC has been building the first semiconductor factory in Kumamoto since April 2022. It is estimated that the total investment will be about 1.2 trillion yen (currently about 58.68 billion yuan), and semiconductors of 12~28nm will be mass-produced.

The second plant for the production of cutting-edge products is expected to start construction before the summer of 2024, and mass production will begin in 2027. It is expected to mass produce about 60,000 units per month. It is expected to mass produce 6nm and 12nm logic semiconductors for computing, and it is planned to sell them to Sony Group and others. The new second plant will surpass the first plant in terms of investment scale and product performance.
