It is my great pleasure to inform you the opening of “English Version” of Semiconductor History Museum of Japan. The SHMJ, only in Japanese version, has been opened since November 2010. The special project has been organized for translating the contents into English since the last year, and now, most of them have been completed.
We can now be accessed from all over the world to provide useful information about the historical events in Japan.
