Junichi Kochi, President of Rapidus, a Japanese advanced process manufacturing plant, told the Japanese Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry, Ken Saito, The construction of the Rapidus wafer factory project has been smooth, and the progress of the first trial production line has reached 30%. Jian Saito visited Chitose City, Hokkaido last week and inspected the IIL-M wafer factory site in Rapidus.

Rapidus plans to complete the entire wafer factory in the first quarter of 2025, start trial production in April of the same year, and is expected to enter the large-scale production phase of the 2nm process in 2027. This timetable demonstrates Rapidus's ambitious vision for the future of Japan's semiconductor industry.

Local officials accompanying Jian Saito's inspection pointed out that it is equally important to build a series of living and industrial supporting facilities for the Rapidus wafer factory. The central and local governments in Japan have begun to improve the construction of roads and sewers around wafer factories. Saito Kenzo The success or failure of the Rapidus wafer plant project will have significant implications for the future of the Japanese economy.

In order to support the development of Rapidus, the central and local governments in Japan have begun to improve the construction of roads and sewers around the wafer factory. So far, Rapidus has received two batches of subsidies from the Japanese government, with a total amount of 920 billion yen. After the inspection, Kenji Saito told reporters that he will consider increasing support for Rapidus depending on the situation.
