Japan's Semiconductor Push Aims to Bolster Nvidia's Key Supplier TSMC With $10B Subsidy
Portfolio Pulse from Anusuya Lahiri
Japan plans to provide an additional $10 billion in subsidies for two key semiconductor projects. The country proposes to allocate up to 900 billion yen for a second Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd (TSMC) factory in Kumamoto, Japan, and 590 billion yen for Japan’s homegrown chip venture Rapidus Corp. TSMC is a primary supplier of Apple Inc and Nvidia Corp. The second TSMC factory will likely cost roughly 2 trillion yen and make 6-12 nanometer logic chips, devices catering to products like electric vehicles.
