Recently, Japan has declared its intention to broaden subsidies aimed at bolstering the domestic production of traditional semiconductor devices. The initiative involves scrapping the previous 30 billion yen investment requirement, refining the subsidy criteria, and placing a particular emphasis on aiding manufacturers of mature chips, including analog semiconductors and microcontrollers. This strategic move is designed to fortify Japan's semiconductor industry in the realm of established processes, ensuring a consistent supply of crucial products, diminishing dependence on overseas suppliers, and fostering the entry of domestic small and medium-sized enterprises into the market.
