Rapidus, a government-backed Japanese chipmaker, is reportedly falling behind schedule and may not achieve mass production of advanced chips by March 2028 as planned. The company has yet to successfully manufacture a working static random-access memory (SRAM) cell—a critical milestone in 2nm chip production that was originally slated for completion this summer and is now at least several months behind. Significant delays in technological progress could undermine government support and push back its planned initial public offering in 2032. A Rapidus spokesperson said the company remains fully committed to its goal of beginning mass production in the second half of fiscal 2027, adding that technical R&D details are confidential.
