Japan¡¯s support for Rapidus won¡¯t waver even if the government-backed venture has to delay its goal of mass-producing advanced logic chips by 2027, according to the chairman of the ruling party¡¯s group for semiconductors.
Rapidus is on track to start a pilot line of its products in April 2025, moving steadily toward the mass-production target, the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP)¡¯s Daishiro Yamagiwa said, citing feedback he¡¯s received from the company and government officials.
¡°We¡¯ve carried out our semiconductor strategy with determination and the Rapidus project is a core part of the strategy,¡± Yamagiwa said in an interview on Tuesday. Even if the target changes to 2028 from 2027, ¡°that won¡¯t matter to us,¡± he said.
