Cornering the market in mature technologies

Chinese foundries are fast cornering the market for 28nm and more mature process technologies, according to TSMC.

TSMC supremo Morris Chang is worried that the Chinese will soon be a major threat to other foundries, like his own.

Most of China’s success is because government incentives were encouraging local foundries to expand their 12-inch production capacity. Most of the new 12-inch fab capacity in China will be 28nm or more mature technologies, Chang warned.

TSMC intends to offer its broad mix of technologies to support a wide range of product applications which will help the Taiwan-based company counter its competitors in China, Chang said. But more than a tenth of the company’s R&D is spent on enhancing its mature process differentiation.
