On February 24th, Japan Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing (JASM) inaugurated its state-of-the-art facility in Kumamoto, marking a pivotal moment in Japan's semiconductor landscape. This milestone is underscored by several remarkable achievements: JASM secured the highest subsidies ever granted by the Japanese government, completed construction in a record-breaking timeframe of under two years, and is poised to lead Japan in producing cutting-edge semiconductor chips. This venture holds immense significance as it raises the question: Can it breathe new life into Japan's somewhat dormant semiconductor industry? 6:10 - Why did TSMC choose to be in Kumamoto? 7:30 - What are the lives like for the engineers? 10:00 - What contributed to the decline of Japan's chip industry? 14:25 - Why TSMC fabs in Arizona and Kumamoto experience different speed 17:40 - Who will be JASM's major customers?
