Taiwanese media reports that manufacturers will release film orders in January, and will receive an additional 15% for pick-up in May?
Due to the recent shortage of foundry production capacity, the market has announced that major foundries will increase their quotations for new orders by 15% from May, and it has also been reported that wafers produced in May will also adopt new quotations.
The report pointed out that since most...

— The global chip shortage is mainly due to insufficient production capacity, and the scheduled delivery of chips must be extended, causing market supply to exceed demand. However, the current shortage of chips may spread back to the production side. As the global chip shortage has spread to the field of chip manufacturing equipment, chip packaging equipment manufacturers have warned that due to chip shortages, the delivery period will be extended, which will make the market expect fab operators to expand production and ease the shortage of chip supply.
According to the report, Chan Pin Chong, executive vice president of Kulicke & Soffa Industries Inc., a leading global semiconducto...

— 8-inch wafers are mainly used to produce MCUs, power management chips, MOSFETs, diodes, radio frequency chips, CMOS image sensors, MEMS sensors, fingerprint recognition chips, display driver chips, etc.
There are two reasons for the tight foundry capacity: First, Foundry factories such as TSMC and Samsung have been spending more resources on the expansion of new process 12-inch wafer fabs, and the expansion of the capacity of old processes such as 8-inch and 6-inch. Be conservative and even reduce production lines.
The second is the surge in demand. During the epidemic, the demand for pads, PCs, notebooks, game consoles, web cameras, and mouse, routers, keyboards, expansion slots, h...
