IBM will help Japan's new government-backed semiconductor company commercialize advanced 2nm chips to revitalize the country's role in the industry and diversify the global supply chain.
Big Blue announced a development partnership with the fledgling Japanese chipmaker, Rapidus Corporation, that will allow the manufacturer to commercialize IBM's 2nm process technology for mass production.
The collaboration is expected to bear fruit in the second half of the 2020s. A previous report said a facility could open between 2025 and 2027.
The deal is important to Japan's ambition of once again becoming a chip manufacturing player. Japan was a force in the semiconductor biz decades past, but peaked in the 1970s and 1980s according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

2 nm teknologia solmu on tällä hetkellä todella huipputasoa. Japani haluaa palata puolijohdeteollisuuden mahtimaaksi. Pelkäävät Kiinaa. Ilman huippu puolijohteita ei voi tehdä kunnollista tekoälysotateknologiaa.
