IBM JOINS HANDS WITH RAPIDUS TO ADVANCE CHIPMAKING IN JAPAN

Global IT corporation, International Business Machines (IBM), is partnering with Rapidus, a Japanese-backed semiconductor provider, to support the country’s strides in exploring and producing advanced chips.

The partnership will also see improvement in IBM’s new two nanometer node technology responsible for communications. The explorations and manufacture of advanced semiconductor technology will help to make headway in its resolve. The partnership will also leverage IBM’s influence to achieve their joint goals.

“This is a long-desired international collaboration, truly essential for Japan to once again play a vital role in the semiconductor supply chain. I am fully confident that this collaboration will pave the way for our goal of contribution to the well-being of humanity through advanced logic semiconductors produced with technologies jointly developed with IBM,” says President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Rapidus, Atsuyoshi Koikex.

In addition, personnel at Rapidus will be assisted by IBM Japan and personnel at their Nanotech Complex in Albany, New York. This present both parties the opportunity to access and use advanced technology in various procedures. Rapidus says they will guarantee “speed to market and competitiveness” through strategies that enable efficiency.

“IBM is honored to be partnering with Rapidus on developing the next generation of semiconductor technologies and helping to position Japan as a leader in one of the world's most strategic technology areas…This collaboration is critical to ensure a geographically balanced global supply chain of advanced semiconductors, built through a vibrant ecosystem of like-minded companies and nations,” said Senior Vice President (SVP) and Director of Research at IBM, Darío Gil.
