Japanese chip company Rapidus has started trial production of an AI chip.
On Tuesday, Japan's government-backed chip company Rapidus started testing the production of the next-generation chip. This marks a crucial early stage in Japan's endeavors to produce artificial intelligence components domestically. Rapidus is getting ready to mass-produce semiconductors using 2-nanometer technology in 2027, which theoretically makes it on an equal footing with TSMC in terms of chip manufacturing capabilities. The company's CEO said, "Developing 2nm technology and achieving large-scale production is extremely challenging. There will be more experiments in the future, and we will gradually reduce the error rate and gain the trust of customers." (Kyodo)
