9 Sony Semiconductor solution (Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation referred to as SSS) and TSMC jointly announced that TSMC will set up a subsidiary Japanese advanced semiconductor manufacturing company (Japan Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing, Inc. in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan. JASM), for short will provide the initial technology for 22nm and 28nm processes.

Japan's advanced semiconductor manufacturing company's wafer plant is scheduled to start construction in 2022 and start production by the end of 2024. It is expected to have a monthly production capacity of 45000 12-inch wafers and will directly create about 1500 local jobs.

Sony Semiconductor Solutions plans to invest about $500 million in Japan's advanced semiconductor manufacturing company, which will account for less than 20% of Japan's advanced semiconductor manufacturing company.
