The city is currently home to the company's research and development hub, Samsung R&D Institute Japan, but the new facility will be built at a separate site, the newspaper said. The company will reportedly construct a production line for prototype chips there. The facility may be commissioned in 2025, but no other details have been revealed. Samsung Electronics declined to comment, according to the report. The world's largest semiconductor manufacturer, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) is building its chip manufacturing plant in Japan, bankrolled by the Japanese government. Japanese electronics giant Sony flagged plans to build a semiconductor manufacturing facility in the country as well.
