LONDON--Taiwanese foundries TSMC and UMC, two partial bellwethers of the semiconductor sector, have both indicate with recent sales figures that a chip market slow down that lasted through the winter is not yet over.
Both companies announced April 2016 sales that were significantly smaller than those they achieved in April 2015.
