卵は殻に覆われています。その殻は外側の硬い部分と、その内側に張り付いている柔らかい薄皮の部分に分かれています。この殻に包まれ、産まれてから20日でひよこが誕生します。この間、ひよこが育つために呼吸をしなければならないので、外側の硬い殻には無数の小さな穴(気孔)が開いています。
Rapidus Corporation (headquartered in Tokyo) is proceeding in all earnest with its plans to establish a new next-generation semiconductor plant in Chitose City. On April 25, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry approved the company’s FY 2023 project plan to construct a new plant, and decided to provide a subsidy of up to 260 billion yen. The necessary preparations, including administrative procedures and geological surveys, have since been initiated. Kajima Corporation is responsible for the design as well as construction, which is slated to begin in September this year and be completed in January 2025. Everything is thus set to realize domestic production of cutting-edge semiconductors.
