[Alpha Biz=(Chicago) Reporter Kim Jisun] It is heard that Samsung Electronics has invested 40 billion yen (about 363.2 billion won) in Yokohama, Japan, to establish a new high-tech semiconductor R & D base. The Japanese government is reportedly considering subsidizing 20 billion yen, or half of its total investment.

Citing sources, Japan's NHK reported on the 20th that Samsung Electronics has decided to set up such an R & D base in the Mirai district of Yokohama and will deal with "semiconductor package" technology here.

The Japanese government expects the R&D base to employ about 100 engineers in Japan in the future. It is also considering a joint study with the R&D base and the Japanese research institute, and is adjusting to provide a subsidy of 20 billion yen, which is half of the investment.
