Founder Maurice Chang said this while attending an event held at TSMC Plant 1 in Kumamoto Prefecture starting at 2pm on this day. Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, who could not attend the event, sent a video message saying, “Semiconductors are a core technology that is indispensable for realizing digitization and decarbonization,” and added, “The Japanese government is providing unprecedented and bold support to establish a domestic production base for advanced semiconductors.” “He said.
