Japanese media: TSMC intends to obtain non -easy things in the land of the second plan

TSMC, a global wafer foundry giant, focused on setting up a second factory in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan. Suppliers have also prepared to settle in, but the problem of land acquisition has become a hindrance to the TSMC.

According to the Nikkei Asia on Tuesday (June 13), TSMC's construction of the first wafer factory in Kikoyang -cho, Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan's industrial industry is in full swing.The second factory.

Suppliers said that TSMC usually does not set up only one factory in one place, but will form a settlement.Hsinchu, where TSMC is located, is an example. TSMC also plans to build a second factory next to the factories in Arizona.

The chief of the local local local is eager to set up factories in TSMC through TSMC, and revive Kumamoto as the title of Kyushu Silicon Island.After the establishment of the second factory in Kumamoto, TSMC will attract more semiconductor supply chains to enter.

TSMC's first wafer fab has attracted a number of large manufacturers to enter, such as the Sony Group plans to build a large -scale image sensor factory locally.

TSMC Chairman Liu Deyin said at a press conference after the shareholders' meeting last week that from an economic point of view, Kumamoto will be the first choice if you want to set up a second factory in Japan.

But it is reported that TSMC must build a second factory in Kumamoto, and the land acquisition is not easy.

Japan's legal restrictions on the development of the land of "urbanization control areas", such as restricting development of forests.And the Japanese government usually prohibits agricultural land from changing its use. Kumamoto is one of the largest Japanese food production sites. Most of the land near Kumamoto and Juyangcho are high -quality agricultural land, and it is difficult to use him separately.

In addition, many companies also believe that in order to attract the company to settle in, Kumamoto should formulate a more relaxed regulatory policy.

In this regard, Kumamoto Prefecture plans to leave about 20 hectares of land for 10 companies in four places before 2025.At the same time, multiple municipal governments in Kumamoto Prefecture have relaxed building restrictions to support the entry into enterprises.

Whether these efforts are sufficient to meet the needs are not clear.Liu Deyin said last week that TSMC has not obtained enough land to build a second factory.TSMC's first factory received 21.3 hectares of land, which is about the size of four large baseball stadiums.
