According to the Japanese Economic News on October 5, Kyushu, Japan, has become one of the important gatherings of the semiconductor industry.Starting from TSMC's construction of large factories in Kumamoto Prefecture, equipment manufacturers such as Tokyo Electronics and Takaraki Production Institute have also invested in Kumamoto.If the construction of supply chain continues, economic benefits will inevitably increase greatly.
On a hill in Kuoyangcho, Kumamoto Prefecture, there is a huge fortune -like building standing.The TSMC, which invested 1 trillion yen (about 6.7 billion US dollars) and started day -day construction, will be completed.The factory plans to be put into production at the end of 2024, but after August this year, the residents and family members from the headquarters of Taiwan have begun to reach Kumamoto. It is expected that various equipment will enter the factory from October.
The Minyuan Production Institute will start to build a new factory in Nanguan -cho, Kumamoto Prefecture in October.The company plans to increase equipment production capacity for semiconductor substrate grinding, and its market share in this field has reached 20 %.
It is expected that the new plant will be completed at the same time in the TSMC factory, which is the end of 2024.With the expansion of the production line and the improvement of logistics efficiency in the factory area, the Poyuan plans to expand the total output to 1.5 times the existing level.President Qian Jiannan said: "The rise of artificial intelligence and data centers will continue to increase the demand for semiconductors. We need to invest in additional investment."
Tokyo Electronics, the largest semiconductor equipment manufacturer in China, is also plannedThe construction of the R & D center located in Hezhi City, Kumamoto Prefecture is completed, with a related investment of 43 billion yen.The center will mainly develop coating development equipment, and Tokyo Electronics has 90 % of the global market in this field.Lin Shenyi, the president of Tokyo Electronics Kyushu Branch responsible for production, said: "Our business scale in Kyushu will be doubled."Di Biko set up a new R & D center in Kumamoto in July this year.Relevant persons in charge expect customers to observe the front line of research and development in person to build a closer partnership.
Overseas enterprises also continue to move.The world's largest light -engraved machine manufacturer, Dutch, has relocated and expanded the technical support center in Kumamoto Prefecture in September this year.Previously, there were only 10 staff members here. In the future, the resident technicians and short -term Japanese businessmen will work at most 60 employees at the most.As the parts required for installation and maintenance equipment will also increase significantly, Asley also plans to open a new warehouse in Kumamoto Prefecture in the summer of 24 years.
The third US Panlin Group in the world, which ranks third in the semiconductor manufacturing equipment field, has also relocated the R & D base in Kumamoto Prefecture. In August, the scale was far greater than the "Kumamoto Service Center".
In addition to the factory of Taicheng, the projects that attract major equipment manufacturers to enter Kyushu are also endless.The Sony Group plans to purchase the land required for the construction of a new semiconductor factory within 23 years.In addition, Roms Semiconductor Group also plans to set up factories in Miyazaki County.TSMC's second factory in Japan is also likely to be located in Kumamoto Prefecture.From the perspective of the development of the entire industry, the supply chain of equipment and raw materials is indispensable. According to Miao Village, the director of the Kyushu Economic and Industry Bureau, it is necessary to build a domestic and foreign cooperation system.
Reported that in order to strengthen the supply network, it is also essential to train talents.SCREEN Holdings invested 500 million yen in June and opened an organization specializing in the training of engineers in the Kumamoto Institute.The agency has prepared the company's most advanced semiconductor cleaning equipment with a high market share, and cultivates engineers who can quickly cope with specifications.The agency will also be used as a training institution for customers, and it is expected to receive up to 30 people per week.
