2016 in addition to the Apple (Apple) is the most important 16 nm TSMC process customers, including mediatek, haisi and spreadtrum all positive in TSMC import 16 nm process mass production, big lift on both sides of the IC design industry in advanced manufacturing processes, TSMC share, TSMC 16 2016 nm process capacity product demand, in addition to the supply of apples other capacity on both sides of IC design industry has been almost the full package.
Recent mediatek, haisi and spreadtrum kept increasing in TSMC for mass production, in the face of international mobile device chip giant turn gradually from a single message, coupled with global PC chip suppliers cast sheet strength weakening continuously, Taiwan IC design industry not only in the advanced manufacturing processes, TSMC order proportion increase, the proportion of future TSMC client will also big reshuffle, instead of IC design industry play a vital role on both sides.
2015 mediatek, haisi and spreadtrum in IC design company in the world ranked third in separation, seven and nine, and the city for a sustained growth, leading fab Qualcomm, Qualcomm to Samsung (Samsung Electronics) 14 nm process for single, Broadcom (Broadcom) collectively Avago revenue in the second, fourth, five huida (NVIDIA), superfine dominated by global PC related chips (AMD), advanced manufacturing processes in TSMC for single are difficult to respond.
As for mediatek, haisi and spreadtrum continues to expand the global mobile phone chips, have to continue TSMC capital of advanced manufacturing technology, and investment volume rose, in the process of reciprocal, TSMC 16 2016 nm advanced processing capacity in addition to the supply of apples, the other has been almost Taiwan IC design industry under the package.
Currently include new mediatek P20, haisi Kirin 950 and spreadtrum SC9860 a new generation of mobile phone chips, such as adopt 16 nm TSMC process mass production, is the first time TSMC Taiwan IC design companies as the main customers, advanced process and is no longer play a major role by other international chip factory.
TSMC almost the majority of customers are foreign chip suppliers in the past, Taiwan IC design companies are difficult to look, but as the forces of Taiwan IC design industry in each chip market rise, along with the global mobile device market is yet to mature, chip to bargain the fighting is fierce, let many international chip suppliers began to fade out the market, more facilitate Taiwan IC design company's growth space.
TSMC advanced processing capacity has always been the first two generation international chip companies under the package, is almost into history, advanced manufacturing processes, TSMC client structure transformation, not only highlights the IC design companies in the global chip industry forces continues to rise, also showed their pace in China nanjing TSMC build 12 inches fabs.
