TOKYO (Reuters) – Japanese Industry Minister Yasutoshi Nishimura said on Tuesday the government plans to give 260 billion yen ($1.94 billion) in an additional subsidy to microchip maker Rapidus.
Rapidus, which plans to build a cutting-edge two-nanometre chip factory in Japan’s northern major island of Hokkaido, previously secured an initial 70 billion yen of funding from the government.
