Tight 8-inch supply fuels foundry price hikes, as TSMC and peers pivot mature capacity to advanced packaging and SiPh.
Key Highlights
- TSMC: Delays mature-node exit; shifts capacity to CoWoS interposer and SiPh.
- UMC: Near-full 8-inch finer-geometry fabs back hikes; 12-inch talks pending.
- Vanguard: Signals price hikes; AI power first, less capacity for Qualcomm.
- PSMC: Seeks SiPh IP license; keeps some HV for OOC.
