Taiwan's top-three IC foundries are seeing a weak third quarter with their combined revenues set to decrease and 3.7 per cent on year.


Beancounters at Digitimes Research said that the combined revenues of Taiwan's major foundries including TSMC, UMC and VIS are forecast to reach US$8.03 billion in the third quarter of 2015.This is down from US$8.09 billion in the prior quarter and US$8.33 billion a year earlier.
Mobile chip suppliers started to slow down the pace of orders in the second quarter due to disappointing end-market demand, and have been engaged in inventory adjustments.
