February 24th,TSMCin JapanKumamotoThe city held an opening ceremony to announce that the first fab in Japan will soon be put into mass production. This move has attracted much attention, especially inTSMCAfter previously announcing plans to set up factories in the United States, Japan, Germany, and other overseas countriesKumamotoThe factory became the first plant to enter the mass production stage. The move has raised questions about why the U.S. factory is slow, while the Japanese factory has entered mass production ahead of schedule. Is it implying that the Japanese are more productive? These questions provoke people to think about, but also showTSMCInInternationalAn important step in the expansion of the market.
Status of the following text, which is forTSMCis a very important action. This signifiesTSMCOfficially stepped into the Japanese market for the localEconomyDevelopment andTechnologyThe industry has been injected with new vitality. with most of the pastSemiconductorsThe company has everything from design to manufacturingVertical integrationThe mode is different,TSMCAs a professional waferOEMfactory, providing chips to customers around the worldOEMManufacturing services that drive the worldSemiconductorsFurther development of the industrial ecological chain. All the time,TSMCWith excellent process technology and manufacturing quality, it has won the trust of customers, and the demand for high-quality chips from companies such as Apple has made it globalOEMThe industry is in a league of its own.
It is reported thatTSMCFounderZhang Zhongmouhas said,TSMCThe business model is:SemiconductorsManufacturing services, the customer is the otherSemiconductorsFirm. By focusing on the process and manufacturing process,TSMCThis enables us to continuously improve our technology and produce higher quality wafers, which in turn increases productivity, reduces costs, and increases profitability. During the outbreak of the global epidemic, there was a significant shortage of chips, which not only exceeded the supply of mobile phones, computers and other products, but also for countriesEconomySerious impacts. Therefore, the guarantee of domestic chips has become a countryEconomyA key part of stability. TSMCIts technical strength and market position are becoming increasingly prominent, and its decision to set up factories in the world is even more prominentSemiconductorsAn important position in the industry.
ForTSMCThe choice to set up a factory in Japan, the politics behind andEconomyFactors should not be overlooked. Japan** launched in 2021SemiconductorsStrategy, willSemiconductors** Chain inclusion countriesEconomySafety and security areas. From 5G, big data to artificial intelligence, autonomous driving and other futuresTechnologyfield of development,SemiconductorsAs a basic industry, it plays a vital role. Despite the fact that Japan over the past 30 yearsSemiconductorsThe industry is gradually declining, but ** is awareSemiconductorsindustry importance and is committed to reviving this sector. Therefore,TSMCThe plan to set up a factory in Japan is also seen as a model for Japan's first demonstration of determination. The scale of this investment is huge, with more than 1 trillion yen in capital expenditure and up to 476 billion yen in subsidies, which highlights Japan's best pairSemiconductorsThe importance of the industry.
In addition, in addition to policy factors, and for local technology companies such as:SonyJoint ventures, but also promoteTSMCOne of the reasons why I chose to set up a factory in Japan. SonyAs a leading company in the field of image sensors, it provides a reliable order guarantee, which is essential for:TSMCis an important factor.
