Rapidus Secures $1.7 Billion in Funding to Back 2 nm Mass Production Plans by 2027

(...)
Rapidus has already taped out a 2 nm GAA test chip using ASML EUV tools in August last year. The company's 2HP process is shaping up to be genuinely competitive, claiming a transistor density of 237 MTr/mm². The goal hasn't changed: get from R&D to full mass production of 2 nm chips by 2027 at the IIM-1 fab in Chitose, Hokkaido, located in northern Japan with around 25,000 wafers per month. Rapidus says it will keep raising money through a mix of public and private sources as it works toward that target.
Those 25,000 wafers will pale in comparison to TSCM, but the more players/competition we have, the better.
