Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has announced a revision to the construction schedule for its second semiconductor fabrication plant in Kumamoto, Japan. Initially planned to break ground between January and March 2025, the project will now commence later this year to meet the escalating global demand for semiconductors.
Industry sources indicate that TSMC is considering acquiring a 20% stake in Intel’s spun-off foundry division, Intel Foundry Services (IFS), through either a technology equity deal or direct financial investment. In addition to TSMC, Qualcomm and Broadcom are also rumored to be potential investors, aiming to secure high-end semiconductor manufacturing capacity while fostering new strategic partnerships.
In a groundbreaking development for the semiconductor industry, Japan’s Rapidus has successfully begun installing its first ASML EUV lithography machine, becoming the country’s first semiconductor company to adopt this cutting-edge technology. This milestone positions Japan as a serious contender in the global race for advanced chip manufacturing.
