Global semiconductor boom this year will be slightly better than last year, TSMC, umc, ase, silicon products China Taiwan semiconductor indexes such as enterprises, revenue and earnings this year will be paid out is better than that of last year and the industry average, according to Taiwan in the field of global semiconductor manufacturing and testing still has the leading position.
Taiwan IC design industry in the first half of season 2, and this year production value is beyond the mainland, but the semiconductor industry, said Taiwan IC manufacturing and remained ahead, after a period of testing industry leading situation can still maintain a period of time.
The whole chip foundry leading TSMC, helped to push Taiwan semiconductor industry to grow more. TSMC nearly four years the scale of investment in research and development and to lead Taiwan factory, invest hundreds of billions of nt dollars a year in recent years, Taiwan's semiconductor industry leader.
TSMC was revised down earlier this year the semiconductor industry growth rate to 1%, but still the chairman morris chang have confidence TSMC revenue, profit growth of 5% this year to 10%, continue to rewrite the record. Industry analysis, TSMC operations continued success this year, mainly concentrating apple A10 processor OEM orders, combine with the maturation of 28 nm process maintain accounts for 90% of the world city, in the future 7 nm production will lead the world.
TSMC on stability of the revenue and earnings growth in the next couple of years, the cause of intelligent vehicle, augmented reality (AR) ¨u virtual reality (VR), artificial intelligence (AI), smart wear, combined with large data and high data transport and so on four big development, not only change the future of human life, these innovative applications will also push up the next wave of semiconductor growth.
Ase with silicon product is benefit from smartphones and increased demand for high-end graphics chip seal testing, revenue and earnings performance this year will be better than last year.
Global semiconductor test equipment leading Ed all the Taiwan Wu Qinghuan, chairman and general manager, said the second half of the semiconductor business is good, despite a recent visibility is not good in the first half, but the second half of the year should be flat, testing industry, in particular, it is quite good for one year. Wu Qinghuan pointed out that although the global smartphone demand growth slowed, but still is the main push semiconductor growth momentum, coupled with the Internet of things drive smart cars, intelligent family and intelligent urban development, the networking requirements must be frivolous short chip, the chip miniaturization and low power consumption, will boost growth high-end sealing test.
