``1 year and 10 months after construction began, the TSMC Kumamoto Factory finally held its opening ceremony today.'' The investment amount is approximately 1.3 trillion yen. The TSMC Kumamoto Factory is estimated to have an economic ripple effect of 6.9 trillion yen over the next 10 years. Many media outlets came from Taiwan as well, showing the high degree of global attention. The inside has never been revealed until now... "The opening ceremony will be held at this venue on the 7th floor of the TSMC Kumamoto Factory office building." Cameras were allowed inside for the first time at the opening ceremony on the 24th. A lot of people gathered there. “This is Chairman Mark Liu from TSMC headquarters.” “That’s Koichi Hagiuda, the former chairman of the Policy Research Institute.” “There is also Chairman Akio Toyoda, who has decided to make a new investment with the expansion of the second factory.” “And the last people to enter were Takeshi Saito, Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry, and Morris Chan, the founder of TSMC.” At the opening ceremony, TSMC Chairman Mark Liu emphasized the company's commitment to environmentally friendly semiconductor manufacturing. We carry out effective water recycling and strive to conserve more groundwater than we use ourselves. Founder Morris Chan also took the stage. He believes this is the beginning of a renaissance in Japanese semiconductor production. A video message from Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. We welcome the creation of a virtuous cycle of investment and wage increases from Kyushu and Kumamoto. 2.5 billion people around the world use products equipped with TSMC semiconductors every day. Vehicle electrification and automation are accelerating Our technology focuses on sensing It allows the car to clearly recognize images even in the dark Making semiconductors that are essential to that
It is extremely important to work together with JASM At TSMC Kumamoto Factory 1, the circuit line width is
It is planned to manufacture semiconductors of 12 to 28 nanometers. It will be supplied for use in image sensors by domestic automakers and the Sony Group. We plan to start mass production in October this year. Additionally, as interest in groundwater conservation and drainage increases,
The water treatment facility inside the factory was unveiled to the public for the first time. "This is the first cutting-edge water treatment equipment introduced in the semiconductor industry." TSMC Kumamoto Factory recycles 75% of the water it uses, etc.
We will use the latest technology to ensure thorough reuse and purification. I felt like they were putting a lot of effort into the environment and groundwater. I thought that Kumamoto citizens and Kumamoto prefecture residents who have concerns would feel very relieved if they could see this facility. Also, at the opening ceremony, it was announced that the government has decided to support the expansion of TSMC's second factory into the prefecture, which was announced this month. The plan was approved based on the 5G Promotion Act for 732 billion yen. The investment amount for TSMC's second factory is approximately 2.1 trillion yen. Support amount up to 732 billion yen The total amount of support from Japan for the two factories amounts to 1.2 trillion yen. Although the detailed location has not yet been announced, it is expected to be built near the first factory. More than 3,400 people work in two factories We are entering an era of great competition, with countries all over the world spending huge amounts of money. For future industrial development and economic security I believe that this important support is also necessary. TSMC has locations such as Arizona in the United States and Dresden in Germany. We are expanding into other countries to diversify risks in preparation for an emergency in Taiwan. Further expansion of factories into Japan, which is considered to be a prescribed route, Multiple Taiwanese media outlets have reported that the third factory may be built in Osaka. Domestic competition to attract companies is also expected to intensify.
