According to Kyodo News, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), a Taiwanese foundry company, and Sony Semiconductor Solutions, a subsidiary of Sony Group, announced on the 9th that they will set up a semiconductor foundry subsidiary in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan, start construction of a new factory in 2022, and strive to start production before the end of 2024. The initial equipment investment is expected to be about US$7 billion, and Sony will invest about US$500 million to obtain less than 20% of the shares.

The new plant will be built in Kikuyo, Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan, and will create about 1,500 jobs for cutting-edge technical talents. This is the first time that TSMC has set up a production base in Japan.

The subsidiary is called JASM. The new plant will produce semiconductors with a process of 22 nanometers (1 nanometer is 1 billionth of a meter) and 28 nanometers.

Sony said that the partnership with TSMC will help stabilize the procurement of semiconductors and is of "great significance". The Japanese government regards the securing of semiconductors as an important issue for economic security and is actively seeking investment, intending to subsidize about half of the cost. TSMC and Sony said that "discussions are underway with the premise of receiving strong assistance from the Japanese government."

According to the report, TSMC, based in Taiwan, has world-class technical capabilities in semiconductor manufacturing and has achieved mass production of high-performance 5-nanometer products for use in smartphones, etc.

TSMC is also building a semiconductor manufacturing plant in Arizona in the western United States, which will produce 20,000 5-nanometer semiconductors per month starting in the first quarter of 2024.
