要旨：
20世纪80年代后半期至90年代初,三本成为世界半导体产业的霸主。尤其是在存储芯片(DRAM)领域,日本被称为“DRAM王国”。但自90年代初以后,在美玉半导体企业卷土重来、韩国和中国台湾半导体企业迅猛崛起等背景下,日本半导体产业由盛转衰,這入“失去的30年”。近年来,日本政府愈发认识到半导体产业的重要性,为扶持半导体产业的发展推出诸多举措,投入巨资金,试图重振半导体产业的雄风,笔者认为前景渺茫。
Abstract：
As the world’s leading player in the semiconductor industry, especially in the Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) market, Japan gained the nickname “DRAM Kingdom” in the latter part of the 1980s and the early 1990s. Nevertheless, Japan’s semiconductor industry has gone from a boom to a bust since the early 1990s, entering what is widely known as the “Lost 30 Years,” due to the revival of American semiconductor companies and the rapid rise of semiconductor firms in South Korea and Taiwan, (China. In recent years, the Japanese government has mereasingly recognized the strategic importance of the semiconductor industry. It has implemented numerous measures support to its development and invested substantial funds to revive its former glory. However, the author remains skeptical about the prospects of a successful resurgence.
