TOKYO -- Japan and the U.S. are set to outline their plans for joint development of next-generation semiconductors, as the allies look to flesh out their bilateral cooperation in the strategic sector, Nikkei has learned.
The road map will be included in a joint statement that the two governments plan to issue at a ministerial meeting in Detroit, Michigan, on Friday. The plan is expected to call for speeding up joint development of technologies to ensure a stable supply of semiconductors, which are becoming increasingly important to economic security.
