Following TSMC, Japan will also introduce South Korean semiconductor Samsung Electronics to settle in government funds.Japanese media quoted news that the US -China conflict caused fragmentation of semiconductor supply chain. Japan gathered two giants in East Asian semiconductors and was determined to take the Japanese semiconductor one -stop production base.
In addition, the introduction of top semiconductor companies settled in Japan's R & D base to create a new generation of semiconductor supply chain.
According to the news of the Japanese, Japan and South Korea have improved Samsung's plan to accelerate Samsung in Japan, and Japan and South Korea also intend to strengthen cooperative relations.
Samsung Electronics' semiconductor sales in 2022 reached US $ 65.5 billion (about S $ 87.6 billion), becoming the second largest semiconductor manufacturer after TSMC.TSMC has constructed and developed bases and production bases in Ibaraki Prefecture and Kumamoto Prefecture in Japan.Samsung decided to invest more than 30 billion yen (about S $ 290 million) to build an advanced semiconductor device trial line in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture.
It is reported that the company plans to open a trial production line in Japan to open a three -dimensional semiconductor device assembly. The purpose is to jointly study and improve production technology with Japan with high -tech materials and equipment manufacturers.
South Korean President Yin Xiyue said during his visit to Japan that South Korean semiconductor manufacturers can work with Japanese excellent materials and equipment manufacturers to create a semiconductor supply chain to expand the opportunities for economic cooperation between Japan and South Korea.
The Japanese and Korean industries are facing the challenge of Chinese companies in the rise of extensive industries. The semiconductor field is regarded as a technology that the two countries must move forward.In July 2019, the Japanese government tightened the export control of South Korea, reflecting the inseparable relationship between Japan and South Korea's semiconductor supply chain.
In the semiconductor industry, Japan and South Korea have complementary relationships. Samsung Electronics and other semiconductor manufacturers purchase Japanese parts, such as Tokyo Electronics, Sumitomo Chemistry, Tokyo Shopping Industry and other manufacturing equipment and precision materials.If important raw materials cannot be purchased, production will stagnate.
The Japanese government actively promotes the strategy of revitalizing the semiconductor industry to produce advanced semiconductors on large -scale.It is the key to attract foreign semiconductor manufacturers to attract foreign semiconductor manufacturers, and it will also strengthen cooperation with the United States and South Korea.
Japan's Ministry of Economic and Industry has a framework for new technology enterprises such as semiconductors, including investment projects that overseas companies enter Japan.Nikkei was learned that Samsung was coordinating the use of subsidies from the Japanese government. Once approved, the subsidy amount is expected to exceed 10 billion yen.Earlier, Japan's subsidized TSMC allowance was 19 billion yen.
Reported that semiconductor has become a strategic product of economic security.The conflict of the United States and China has led to the increasingly fragmented semiconductor supply chain. Western countries have also actively established a semiconductor supply network that does not include China.Japanese and Korean companies can walk together, and are expected to pave the way for the construction of the next -generation semiconductor supply chain through joint development.
