TAIPEI (Jiji Press) — Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. plans to build its second Japanese plant in Kumamoto Prefecture, TSMC Chairman Mark Liu said Tuesday.
The contract chipmaker’s first plant in Japan is currently under construction in the town of Kikuyo in a joint project with companies Sony Group Corp. and Denso Corp.
TSMC has no plan to introduce advanced chip manufacturing processes at the second plant, Liu told a news conference after a shareholders’ meeting in Hsinchu, northern Taiwan, according to Taiwan’s Central News Agency.
