TOKYO -- Japanese chipmaker Rapidus plans to supply a cutting-edge 2-nanometer product prototype to U.S.-based Broadcom as early as June, as part of its push to secure major customers ahead of mass production of such technology, Nikkei has learned.

Established in 2022, Rapidus aims to churn out chips designed by customer companies, similar to the business model of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., the world's biggest contract semiconductor producer.
