Development of cutting-edge semiconductors in a short period of time The University of Tokyo forms a partnership with a Taiwanese manufacturer November 27, 15:00
The University of Tokyo has partnered with Taiwanese semiconductor giant TSMC to promote the creation of an alliance to develop cutting-edge semiconductors in a short period of time.
The University of Tokyo has partnered with TSMC in Taiwan, the world's largest manufacturer of semiconductors.
Under this alliance, the University of Tokyo has newly established a research center, and from what semiconductor manufacturers in Japan and manufacturers that use semiconductors as products, AI = artificial intelligence and next generation communication standards, 5G Gather information about what you need.
Then, we will design cutting-edge semiconductors based on information and create an alliance that allows us to make prototypes in a short time using TSMC manufacturing technology.
As the performance of semiconductors increases, power consumption increases, but the University of Tokyo aims to develop semiconductors with improved energy efficiency by scraping waste circuits.
In the future, we are looking for companies to join the coalition and will start full-scale activities from April next year.
Shingo Gogami, President of the University of Tokyo, said at the press conference on the 27th: “Japan has a wealth of knowledge in semiconductor development, and there are many talented people. Is important. "
