TSMC Taiwan, Sony Group Team Up for $6.3 Billion Image Sensor Production Initiative

TOKYO, Aug 10 (Reuters) – Sony Group and Taiwan’s TSMC plan to spend around 1 trillion yen ($6.32 billion) to jointly make next-generation ‌microchips used in image sensors, the Nikkei business daily said on Monday.

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, the paper said.

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.

Sony declined to comment on the Nikkei report, while there was no immediate ⁠response from TSMC to Reuters’ request for comment.
