TSMC plans to increase the quotation of 8-inch mature process in 2022Q3
Due to the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic and the semiconductor supply chain, the global core shortage has been going on for more than a year. In addition, starting from the fourth quarter of 2020, major wafer foundries have raised their quotations for chip manufacturing, and the prices of different process nodes have risen many times, and this trend shows no signs of abating this year.
According to DigiTimes, TSMC plans to continue to adjust prices in the third quarter of this year and will increase the quotation for mature processes of 8-inch wafers, while the quotations for advanced processes of 12-inch wafers may also increase. However, TSMC is still evaluating the situation. According to industry insiders, if TSMC raises its quotation, other foundries are likely to follow suit.
