Rapidus to Launch Pilot Line for Advanced Chips Tues.
Tokyo, March 29 (Jiji Press)--Japan's Rapidus Corp. is set to start the operations of a pilot line at its plant for advanced semiconductors in Chitose, Hokkaido, northern Japan, on Tuesday.

Securing domestic output bases for chips, a strategic item, is a pressing issue for Japan at a time when geopolitical risks such as a standoff between the United States and China are becoming more apparent.
