Japan is providing a major U.S. memory chipmaker with a sizable subsidy to support its plan to manufacture at a Hiroshima factory, the Japanese trade minister said Friday.
A sign marks the entrance of the Micron Technology automotive chip manufacturing plant on Feb. 11, 2022, in Manassas, Virginia. Japan is providing a major U.S. chipmaker a subsidy of up to 46.6 billion yen to support its plan to produce advanced memory chips at a Hiroshima factory, the Japanese trade minister said Sept. 30, 2022.
The announcement to subsidize Micron Technology comes on the heels of U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris’ visit in Japan as the two countries step up cooperation on expanding manufacturing and supply chains for critical materials.“I hope the deal will contribute to further expansion of cooperation between Japan and the United States in the area of semiconductors,” Japan’s Economy and Trade Minister Yasutoshi Nishimura said.
During her trip to Asia this week, Harris met with Japanese officials and semiconductor company executives to seek greater cooperation in strengthening semiconductor development and production amid China’s growing influence. Micron said in a statement it will use the subsidy to strengthen production capacity and speed up development of the company’s 1-beta DRAM — memory chips that are key to advanced data facilities — as well as technology for a 5G network upgrade and artificial intelligence.
