Last year, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), which is the largest contract manufacturer of semiconductor chips, was also essentially the only one offering the output of 28-nanometer technology.Relevant capacity was insufficient to meet demand, which have experienced the TSMC customers themselves .As a result, for example, the company has decided to transfer orders Qualcomm to produce 28-nanometer production Globalfoundries , the good, the manufacturer had already mastered the 28-nanometer technology.
According to the source, the company recently acquired Globalfoundries another major customer - it will produce 28-nanometer chips for MediaTek.
This year's deficit capacities able to produce products to 28-nanometer technology, it seems, can be avoided.Besides the fact that TSMC has expanded production to 70,000 wafers per month, the yield rate was able to bring to an acceptable level, the third contract manufacturer - UMC.
The fact that the UMC develops Issue 28-nanometer production has long been known, but until that manufacturer is not able to overcome technological obstacles. In his last assurances problems in the past.
Usually developers is not having its own facilities, try to work with several contract manufacturers to be able to choose a more attractive environment and reduce risks.
