半導体支援へ３．３兆円　ＴＳＭＣに９０００億円補助―経産省検討

　半導体の国内生産や開発を促進するため、経済産業省が計３兆３５５０億円の追加支援を検討していることが１３日、分かった。半導体受託製造最大手の台湾積体電路製造（ＴＳＭＣ）の国内第２工場に最大９０００億円を拠出するほか、次世代半導体の国産化を目指すラピダスへの補助も計画。経済安全保障上重要な「特定重要物資」に指定する半導体の安定供給に向け、国内の製造基盤強化を急ぐ。
　経産省は２０２３年度補正予算案として、半導体関連３基金の増額を財務省に要求した。政府は月内にまとめる経済対策で、半導体などの国内投資支援策を盛り込む見通し。（2023/10/13-17:57）

Japan's industry ministry plans to offer 3,355 billion yen in additional financial assistance to boost domestic production and development of semiconductors, a strategically important item for the country's economic security, people familiar with the matter said Friday.
   The ministry has asked the Finance Ministry for an increase in funding for three semiconductor-related funds under a proposed supplementary budget.
   The Japanese government is expected to include measures to facilitate domestic investment in semiconductors and others, in a new economic package due out later this month.
   Under its additional aid, the industry ministry will offer a maximum of 900 billion yen to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.'s envisioned second Japan plant, expected to be built in the southwestern prefecture of Kumamoto.
   The Japanese government has already decided to offer up to 476 billion yen in aid for TSMC's first Japan plant, currently under construction in the Kumamoto town of Kikuyo in a joint project with Sony Group Corp. and others.
