JAKARTA - The United States and Japan have decided to launch a new joint international chip or semiconductor research center. This was explained by Japanese Trade Minister Hagiuda Koichi in a press conference quoted by Reuters in Washington.

The two countries agreed during US and Japanese economic talks to work on joint research for next-generation semiconductors. They also want to establish a safe source of vital components.

Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo said there were extensive discussions on Friday, July 29 "about how Japan and the United States can collaborate, especially with regard to advanced semiconductors."

So far, the ruler of the world's semiconductor products, Taiwan with TSMC dominates a lot of the chip or semiconductor market has made a lot of dependence on the digital industry on them. The US-Japan cooperation is expected to reduce the world's dependence on semiconductors from Taiwan.
