RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK \u2013<\/strong> IBM<\/a> is partnering with Rapidus, a Japan-based semiconductor firm backed by the Japanese government, to help develop and produce powerful chips that IBM announced a year ago.<\/a><\/p>\n

The deal comes amidst growing tension between the U.S. and China over chips and increasing efforts to produce more chips in America. Financial terms were not disclosed.<\/p>\n

However these chips will be produced in Japan at some point in the next few years.<\/p>\n

\u201cIBM is honored to be partnering with Rapidus on developing the next generation of semiconductor technologies and helping to position Japan<\/span> as a leader in one of the world\u2019s most strategic technology areas,\u201d said Dar\u00edo Gil, senior vice president and director of Research at IBM, in the announcement<\/a>. \u201cThis 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

The emphasis is on 2 nanometer chip tech developed by IBM, the first developed at that scale.<\/p>\n

IBM says the chip \u201cis projected to achieve 45% better performance or 75% more energy efficiency than leading 7 nm chips.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, MIT and Taiwan chip firm Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company say they have developed an even smaller one.<\/a><\/p>\n

Atsuyoshi Koike<\/span>, president and CEO of Rapidus, noted. \u201cThis is a long-desired international collaboration, truly essential for Japan<\/span> 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

IBM and Rapidus scientists and engineers will work jointly in Japan and at a nanotech facility in New York.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis 2 nm technology is intended to be market-leading and will be compatible with industry standard offerings. Rapidus expects to start mass-production of its 2 nm technology in the latter half of the 2020s,\u201d the companies said.<\/p>\n

IBM operates one of its largest campuses in RTP and employs thousands of people across North Carolina.<\/p>\n

New York is home to IBM\u2019s chip research efforts.<\/p>\n
