Sony Group and Taiwan’s TSMC plan to spend around $6.32 billion to jointly make next-generation microchips used in image sensors. A joint venture owned about 60% by Sony and 40% by TSMC will start commercial production as early as 2029 in southern Japan’s Kumamoto prefecture.
Partnership Details
The two tech giants said in May they planned to form a joint venture in Japan to develop and manufacture next-generation image sensors, combining Sony’s sensor design expertise with TSMC’s manufacturing and process technology strengths. Sony and TSMC also said then that the partnership will explore opportunities in physical artificial intelligence applications such as automotive and robotics.
