Japan will subsidize US chipmaker Micron Technology by up to $322 million to support its plan to produce advanced memory chips at a Hiroshima factory.
Japan’s Economy and Trade Minister Yasutoshi Nishimura said he hopes the deal will contribute to further expansion of cooperation between Japan and the US in semiconductor production.
The Japanese government approved the deal under a law related to economic security.
