JETRO Invest Japan Report 2023
Chapter3. Recent Government Measures Section4. Fund for Advanced Semiconductor Production Infrastructure Development

While semiconductors are increasingly being used in vehicles, medical devices, and various other fields due to the progress of digitalization, geopolitical circumstances are increasing the risk of global supply chains being affected. Ensuring a stable supply of advanced semiconductors, which affect all industries and are indispensable for 5G systems, is a top priority in terms of increasing the resilience of industrial infrastructure and improving strategic autonomy and indispensability. This project aims to realize a stable supply of advanced semiconductors in Japan by establishing domestic production sites for advanced semiconductors, ensuring continued production at those sites, and promoting joint research and development with participating companies.

Specifically, a newly established fund at New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) will be used as subsidy to implement plans related to the development of advanced semiconductor production facilities as well as production of such semiconductors that have been certified based on the 5G Promotion Act, to encourage investment decisions by enterprises and ensure a stable supply of advanced semiconductors.

Chart 3-4: Implementation Method of Specified Semiconductor Fund Projects
Enterprises developing semiconductor production facilities apply for certification of plans to Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. Enterprises developing semiconductor production facilities apply for subsidies to NEDO. Subsidy rate directed by METI for each certified production facility development plan of specified semiconductors, up to 1/2.
