TSMC to ramp up 16nm chip production
Taiwanese TSMC is reportedly panning to increase its monthly capacity of its 16nm process technology from 40'000 units to 80'000 12-inch wafers.
According to a report in DigiTimes, TSMC's co-CEO CC Wei stated that the company's share of the 14/16nm foundry market segment will exceed 70% in 2016 – up from about 40% in 2015.
The increased production is expected to effect TSMC's sales performance starting this month, the report continues.
