日本的目标是与Rapidus一起恢复半导体工业,目标是到2027年实现2nm芯片生产,尽管存在资金和专门知识缺口。 Japan aims to revive its semiconductor industry with Rapidus, targeting 2nm chip production by 2027 despite funding and expertise gaps.

日本正通过政府支持、丰田、索尼和软银支持的Rapidus公司，以及与IBM的重要联盟，推进其成为顶级半导体生产国的竞标。 Japan is advancing its bid to become a top semiconductor producer through Rapidus, a government-backed company with support from Toyota, Sony, and SoftBank, and a key alliance with IBM. 该公司的目标是到2027年大规模生产2nm芯片,它已经利用ASML的EUV平面印刷设备建立了一个原型,使日本成为实现这一目标的少数国家之一。 The firm aims to mass-produce 2nm chips by 2027, having already built a prototype using ASML’s EUV lithography equipment—making Japan one of few nations to achieve this. Chitose,北海道工厂是为低环境影响和稳定基础设施而设计的,是2024年后期为振兴该工业而发起的650亿美元全国推动力的一部分。 The Chitose, Hokkaido factory, designed for low environmental impact and stable infrastructure, is part of a $65 billion national push launched in late 2024 to revive the industry. 尽管直接供资和更广泛的投资达120亿美元,但专家们警告说,这项努力可能达不到全面生产所需的318亿美元。 Despite $12 billion in direct funding and broader investments, experts warn the effort may fall short of the $31.8 billion needed for full-scale production. 日本曾经制造了世界一半以上的芯片,但现在的产量还不到11%。 日本面临着种种障碍,包括缺乏高端制造经验,难以从TSMC和三星等领导人那里获得技术专长,预计还短缺40,000名熟练工程师。 Japan, which once made over half the world’s chips but now produces less than 11%, faces hurdles including a lack of high-end manufacturing experience, difficulty securing technical expertise from leaders like TSMC and Samsung, and a projected shortage of 40,000 skilled engineers. 该国正与大学合作,吸引TSMC和Kioxia等全球公司在国家安全关切和需求增长的驱动下加强其生态系统。 The country is partnering with universities and attracting global firms like TSMC and Kioxia to strengthen its ecosystem, driven by national security concerns and rising demand.
