Japan and the Semiconductor Strategy

What Japan semiconductor strategy has produced and where it is going

The Strategy

Japan semiconductor strategy -- the combination of the Rapidus advanced semiconductor manufacturing investment in Hokkaido, the TSMC Japan fab in Kumamoto, and the specific research and development investments in advanced materials and semiconductor manufacturing equipment that the Japanese semiconductor ecosystem has always been strong in -- is the most significant industrial policy investment in Japan in two decades.

The Rationale

The rationale: Japan was a dominant semiconductor manufacturer in the 1980s and lost that position to Taiwan, South Korea, and China through the specific combination of the investment decisions of the 1990s and the 2000s that prioritised the downstream applications of semiconductors over the fabrication itself. The current strategy is designed to rebuild the fabrication capability that Japan lost.
