What is Japanese Semiconductor doing from mask aligner's defeat to collective fraud?

On June 1 last year, Toshiba, the last semiconductor giant in Japan, sold its semiconductor company (TMC) to Pangea, an acquisition company composed of Japan, the United States and South Korea led by Bain Capital, to make up for the huge losses caused by its poor nuclear power business and management. The Japanese media called the incident the fall of the last fortress of Japanese semiconductors.

Japan's semiconductor industry originated from American technology transfer.

1947，at & amp； The Bell Institute invented the point contact transistor.

195 1 year, Bell Institute invented the junction contact transistor and successfully realized the commercial test.

1953, Shaofu Morita, one of the founders of Sony, purchased the patented transistor technology from Western Electric Company.

1955, Sony developed the world's first transistor radio.

1959, Japanese transistor sales reached the first place in the world.

From 65438 to 0968, Hitachi, Fujitsu and NEC began to develop ultra-high performance computers under the government's industrial development policy.

From the birth of transistor 40 to the second half of 1960s, Japan mainly accepted technology transfer from the United States and was responsible for mass production of civilian goods exported to the United States, while the United States shifted the focus of the electronic industry to the military field.

In the second half of 1960s, Japanese semiconductor technicians began to take an active part in international semiconductor conferences, and Japanese companies that had accumulated technology began to try to develop independently. In the early 1970s, IBM announced the use of semiconductor memory instead of magnetic core in large computers, and the important DRAM chip in semiconductors became a market with great potential. The United States began to refuse to provide IC integrated circuits to Japan and forced Japan to completely liberalize IC input. At this time, the Japanese government not only faced the crisis of mass production of old semiconductors, but also the development of high-performance computers in the new era of IBM made the Japanese government feel scared. This has left Japan devastated and has been inactive.
