Japanese Semiconductor Wafer Factory Transfers 12-inch Devices to Taiwan

Taiwan’s semiconductor foundry companies have recently had full capacity, and the silicon wafer fab Taiwan Seimitsu (a joint venture between SUMCO and Formosa Plastics) has also planned to invest NT$9 billion to double the existing 12-inch silicon wafer production capacity to 30 per month. Millions. The new plant has started construction at the end of December last year, and it is expected that the mass production will begin at the beginning of next year, and full production capacity can be put into production by the middle of next year.

Looking ahead to 2010, Taiwan Shengke said that the current production capacity is full and the business climate is definitely better than last year. At present, the 8 and 12-inch wafer production capacity is full-load production, which is why the Group has to actively expand its production capacity.

Taiwan Seiketsu’s revenue in December last year was 754 million yuan, a month-on-year reduction of 1%. The annual revenue was 9.646 billion yuan, an annual growth of 39.22%. Since some semiconductor inventory revisions ended in January, wafer fabs have seen signs of recovery. Therefore, January sales will be higher than last December.
