TSMC Financial Status Plus OIP Update!
July 6, 2011
Interesting notes from my most recent Taiwan trip: Taiwan unemployment is at a record low. Scooters once again fill the streets of Hsinchu! TSMC will be passing out record bonuses to a record amount of people. TSMC Fab expansions are ahead of schedule. The new Fab 15 in Taichung went up amazingly fast with equipment moving in later this year. When was the last time you saw a fab built ahead of schedule and under budget? Simply amazing! Taiwan is also ready to overtake Japan as the world's largest semiconductor materials market. The Taiwan market grew from $6.9 billion in 2009 to estimated $9.1 billion in 2010, showing 36%+ growth. Go Taiwan!
