It is reported that the Japanese government may provide some subsidies. The plant is expected to create 2000 to 3000 jobs, including those of business partners

's novel coronavirus pneumonia and its blockade measures have led to a surge in demand for electronic devices, which has led to a shortage of non storage chip supply, forcing manufacturers and mobile phone manufacturers to cut production. This has also affected the sales of DRAM memory chips, but industry observers expect demand to rebound with the help of data center expansion < p > before micron technology announced the news of plant construction, chip giant TSMC also announced its plan to build a plant in Japan last week, which is expected to be put into operation in 2024. Local media reported that the Japanese government is ready to provide financial support of about 500 billion yen (about US $4.37 billion), covering nearly half of the total investment < p > Japan hopes to attract chip manufacturers into the country to ensure that its companies can obtain sufficient semiconductor supply at any time to help maintain economic competitiveness < p > micron technology also produces slower but lower priced NAND chips for the data storage market. The company produces 300 mm DRAM wafers at its plant in Hiroshima, where it has R & D facilities. (small) < / P > < p >
