Rapidus, a Japanese chip startup backed by the government, may be unable to mass-produce high-end chips by 2028 as planned. According to people familiar with the matter, the company has yet to produce a key advanced memory component—usable static random-access memory (SRAM)—and advanced logic chips require hundreds of millions of embedded SRAM cells. To produce 2-nanometer chips on schedule, Rapidus must achieve stable SRAM production by this summer. The people familiar with the matter said engineers are under enormous pressure to accelerate the timeline, but failure to reach this technical milestone would put the company at least months behind schedule, and major delays could jeopardize public support for Rapidus.
