Japanese authorities are preparing a legislative framework to subsidize the domestic semiconductor industry

 Next year, construction of a TSMC plant will begin in western Japan, which will focus on the production of 22nm and 28nm products primarily for the needs of local customers. The country's authorities are developing laws that will allow them to subsidize the development of the national semiconductor industry on a long-term basis, TSMC will be the first to meet their requirements.



According to the Nikkei Asian Review , by the beginning of December, the Japanese parliament is to consider a bill defining the rules for subsidizing the construction of new enterprises related to the production of semiconductor products. Now a similar law is aimed at supporting companies involved in the development of 5G communication networks. The release of semiconductor components should become a new priority area, to support which government subsidies will be allocated.

The Japanese authorities, according to unofficial data, are ready to cover up to half of the costs of TSMC required for the construction of an enterprise in Kumamoto Prefecture, and the total construction budget is tentatively estimated at $ 8.87 billion. state fund. The recipients of the subsidies will have to meet certain requirements. First, the production volume must be stable, as well as the pace of its renewal from a technological point of view. Secondly, if there is a shortage of components in the industry, enterprises should be able to increase production volumes in a short time. Finally, special measures will be taken to prevent the leakage of valuable technologies.
