According to the latest report from IC Insights, a research institute, the foundry leader TSMC (2330-TW) Last year revenue per wafer reached 1634 U.S. dollar, Leading all pure wafer foundries, and better than UMC (2303-TW) 1.42 times higher.
IC Insights pointed out that TSMC was the only global pure-play foundry that produced 7-nanometer and 5-nanometer processes at the same time last year, with an estimated annual revenue of about 16 companies exceeding 1 billion.U.S. dollarIC design houses lined up for TSMC’s advanced manufacturing process, driving TSMC’s revenue per wafer.
According to IC Insights data, TSMC, UMC, and SMIC all increased their revenue per wafer last year compared with 2019, and only GF decreased by 1%. TSMC’s revenue per wafer reached 1,634 last year U.S. dollar, Compared with GF’s 984 U.S. dollar66% higher than UMC’s 675 U.S. dollar, And SMIC 684 U.S. dollar, Respectively 1.42 times and 1.39 times higher.
IC Insights said that TSMC’s capital expenditure this year is about 27.5 billionU.S. dollar, Will be used to expand the production capacity of advanced processes, and start a 3nm risky trial production. The 3nm process is expected to be mass-produced in 2022.
