Deliveries of the two largest contract chip makers, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) and United Microelectronics Co. (UMC) will grow not only due to the fact that these companies are introducing new production capacity, but also due to the fact that more and more smartphone makers begin to develop own mobile processors who need someone to produce .
TSMC company , is expected to win due to the fact that more and more smartphone manufacturers are planning to release their own single-chip platform for mobile devices, gradually abandoning the third-party solutions, such as Qualcomm and MediaTek. Through its own development smartphone makers are hoping to save money and get a more streamlined and efficient solutions for their devices.
TSMC is the best choice for smartphone manufacturers, as this company makes chips on the current 16-mn FinFET process technology and introduce new technology InFO (Integrated Fan-Out).
Also note that on Thursday UMC company announced that its Board of Directors has approved a budget of 12.57 billion Taiwan dollars (about 382.7 million US dollars), which will go to finance the expansion of production capacity. This year, UMC production capacity reached 20, 000 units of 12-inch 28-nm wafers per month, and the first half of 2016 it is planned to increase this figure to 30 000 units.
