IT Home reported on November 10 that Bloomberg said around noon today Beijing time that Japan's advanced semiconductor company Rapidus had failed to meet an SRAM milestone on time, posing a challenge to its goal of mass-producing 2nm chips in fiscal 2027.
SRAM, or static random-access memory, is a key component of all advanced chips. For AI chips, a large SRAM cache can significantly speed up task processing.
The report claims that Rapidus has yet to produce usable SRAM. Under its previously planned mass-production roadmap, it should have achieved this by the summer of 2026. Its current progress indicates a delay of several months. Rapidus engineers face enormous pressure to accelerate progress.
Rapidus responded that it would continue to make every effort to begin mass production in the second half of fiscal 2027. Its chairman, Tetsuro Higashi, said last month that mass production of 2nm chips was proceeding as planned.
