tsmc is the world's largest semiconductor foundry, and its factory expansion plan in kumamoto prefecture has brought new opportunities and challenges to japan's chip industry. it is reported that tsmc will build a second wafer fab in kumamoto prefecture to further promote the recovery of japan's semiconductor industry. however, this development has also caused a shortage of talent.

as early as 2021, tsmc announced the establishment of its first wafer fab in kumamoto. its expansion in japan has increased the number of job vacancies for semiconductor workers by 13.4 times compared with 10 years ago. this phenomenon is not limited to tsmc. it is reported that japan's chip manufacturing industry is facing the dilemma of continued talent shortage. over the past 25 years, japan's semiconductor industry has continued to decline in competitiveness and its market share has shrunk significantly. according to data, the number of employees in japan's semiconductor industry has decreased by 60% in the past 20 years.

the reasons behind this are mainly concentrated in several aspects: first, the rapid changes in technological innovation and development have led to a continuous increase in talent demand; second, the lag in talent development and lack of competitiveness. although the japanese government has been committed to promoting the semiconductor industry and regards it as the key to national economic security, it is currently facing a talent shortage.

kumamoto university opened a "semiconductor equipment course" specifically for the semiconductor field in april this year, aiming to provide human resources for japan's semiconductor industry. four technical colleges in hokkaido have also launched semiconductor courses to actively cultivate talents and provide new impetus for the development of japan's semiconductor industry. however, whether these efforts can effectively solve the problem of talent shortage requires time and practice to verify.

at the same time, the japanese semiconductor industry is facing competitive pressure from the global market, which requires japanese semiconductor companies to continuously optimize production processes, improve product quality, and actively explore new technological routes in order to maintain their leading position in future market competition.

in short, the japanese semiconductor industry is at a critical juncture. although facing the dilemma of talent shortage, the japanese government and related companies are actively seeking solutions to ensure the future development and prosperity of the semiconductor industry.
