Rapidus to Launch Pilot Line for Advanced Chips Tues.
Tokyo, March 29 (Jiji Press)--Japan's Rapidus Corp. is set to start the operations of a pilot line at its plant for advanced semiconductors in Chitose, Hokkaido, northern Japan, on Tuesday.
The launch of the test line will be an important milestone in Rapidus' aim of beginning mass production at the factory in 2027. Securing domestic output bases for chips, a strategic item, is a pressing issue for Japan at a time when geopolitical risks such as a standoff between the United States and China are becoming more apparent.
