TSMC: 8-inch wafers to increase the price
According to the Electronic Times, some IC designers said that TSMC plans to raise the OEM quotation of 8 inches of mature process in the third quarter, and the 12-inch mature and advanced process is still under evaluation.
However, the news in the industrial chain shows that although TSMC plans to increase the price of 8-inch wafer foundry services, it will not take effect immediately, and the new price is expected to be implemented in the third quarter.
Due to the impact of supply chain and other issues, the world has been in the core, foundry chip manufacturers have announced an increase in foundry fees, semiconductor prices have always climbed.
In September last year, TSMC notified customers that the foundry price of all chips rose by up to 20%. Among them, the quotation of 7nm process technology rose by 3%-10%, and the price of mature processes above 12nm rose by 20%.
In TSMC's current revenue, 12-inch wafer foundry services account for a large proportion, and the foundry price of 12-inch wafers has been raised many times before.
Although the news in the industrial chain did not mention the news of the price increase of the 12-inch wafer foundry service, in the case of strong demand and tight production capacity, it is not excluded that TSMC will raise the subsequent increase.
