MOS IC Production in Japan Reaches 1.43 Trillion Yen

The MOS, short for metal-oxide-semiconductor, also known as MOSFET, is a type of field-effect transistor widely used in both analog and digital circuits. It boasts high input impedance, fast switching speed, good thermal stability, and voltage-controlled current among its features. An IC, or integrated circuit, is a device made by using MOS or bipolar processes or a combination of both on a semiconductor substrate to fabricate multiple components and connect them into a circuit.

According to a report by Statista Research Department, the production value of MOS integrated circuits (ICs) in Japan from 2015 to 2022 is as follows:

In 2022, the production value of MOS ICs manufactured in Japan was approximately 1.43 trillion Japanese yen. This category includes microcomputers, logic ICs, memory ICs, and various MOS ICs.

Statista data shows that in 2022, the production value of logic ICs in Japan, broken down by type, is as follows:

In 2022, the production value of semi-custom ICs manufactured in Japan was about 78.37 billion Japanese yen. Standard logic and display driver ICs accounted for much smaller shares of the production value of logic ICs in that year.
