Flourishing Foundry
August 8, 2016
The SOX is up, the IC sales/orders ratio is trending positive, VLSI Research estimates 4% Q3 growth and now bellwether TSMC is hiking capex from $9/10 billion to $9.5/10.5 billion.
What’s more, TSMC says it will maintain its annual capex at over $10 billion for the next three to five years.
TSMC CFO Lora Ho points to: “demand increases in mid- and low-end smartphone segments and customer inventory restocking.
