Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., the world's largest contract chipmaker, holds an opening ceremony for its first factory in Japan, with more investment planned to build a second plant.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. says that it will increase its capital spending for a plant to be built in Japan s southwestern prefecture of Kumamoto to $8.6 billion in order to boost its production capacity.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. s chairman says its Japan venture with a Sony Group Corp. subsidiary is a special case as the company typically seeks full ownership in overseas plants.
