Photographer: Kiyoshi Ota/BloombergJapan’s Rapidus Corp. has prototyped an advanced chip, an early step in the government-backed startup’s attempt to leapfrog years of innovation with the help of billions of dollars in public funding.
The company last week printed circuitry on wafers using 2-nanometer gate-all-around process technology, President Atsuyoshi Koike told reporters Friday. He did not disclose the number of functional chips produced.
