# Rapidus Targets 2-nm Chip Mass Production by 2027

November 12, 2026 at 04:11 PM

> Japanese startup Rapidus aims to revitalize domestic silicon manufacturing by producing advanced 2-nm chips using IBM technology by 2027.

Japanese semiconductor startup Rapidus is moving forward with its ambitious plan to mass-produce 2-nm chips by 2027. Utilizing Gate-All-Around transistor technology, the firm aims to establish a high-end foundry presence within the global silicon market.

The company acquired its 2-nm technology theory from IBM, which provides essential technical know-how despite not manufacturing chips itself. Supported by continuous government funding, Rapidus also announced plans in 2024 to offer advanced chip packaging.

This initiative matters as Rapidus seeks to replicate the successful foundry model of TSMC. By combining IBM's research with domestic manufacturing and packaging services, the startup hopes to revitalize Japan's position in the leading-edge chip industry.
