The Leading-edge Semiconductor Technology Center is a semiconductor research institution based in Japan. It is funded by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and was established in December 2022.[1]
The organisation's primary goal as of 2024 is to establish a domestic semiconductor industry ecosystem by developing design, device, manufacturing, and equipment/material technologies for product realisation in collaboration with domestic and international institutions, using the 2nm node manufacturing technology and pilot line under development with short TAT (turnaround time).[2] In February 2024, it was announced that the organisation would receive an additional 45 billion yen research grant from the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry.[3]
