POSTER: computer news   ||    TSMC LOWERED THE FORECAST FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CONTRACT CHIP MARKET IN 2017	DATE:2017-04-15
On Friday,  meeting with shareholders, the leadership of the Taiwanese company TSMC, which for many years remains the leader in contract manufacturing, voiced a number of interesting data about itself and the world market of semiconductors.  According to the company, all the plans are being implemented, which will ensure the growth of TSMC revenue this year by 5-10%.  At the same time, TSMC notes that the world market of contract semiconductors this year will not develop as well as previously predicted.  In particular, TSMC lowered the growth forecast for the contract production market in 2017 from 7% to 5%.  This means that TSMC plans to ensure its development dynamics are not worse than global trends and even better. Reduce the company's forecast was after studying the order chain of suppliers.  More precisely, having studied the state of warehouse stocks of customers.  Particularly brought customers of components for smartphones and personal computers.  It turned out that purchases are being conducted reluctantly.  Only the minimum required is bought.  Already in the second quarter, this practice will lead to the fact that TSMC predicts that the cost of the contract chip market will gradually decrease by 8-9% per quarter.  Accordingly, the revenue of companies will drop. At the same time, the world market of semiconductors (including the market of contract chips) will behave with the opposite dynamics - it will grow by 7% per year.  This will happen, as we noted earlier, due to the growth in selling prices for computer memory, which was in short supply.  Without taking into account the memory market, the world semiconductor market would grow only by 4%. Traditionally, at the shareholders' meeting, the management of TSMC recalled plans for the development and implementation of new technical processes.  Thus, the expansion of the volume of production of 10-nm solutions is planned to "grow very fast" in the second half of the year.  At the end of the year, 10-nm production should bring the company about 10% of revenue. The risky production of chips based on the first generation 7-nm process technology will begin in the second half of this year.  In the development of solutions using a 7-nm process technology, 30 customers of the company joined, which will prepare 15 digital projects (chips) during the year.  The mass production of 7-nm solutions will start in early 2018, and a year later the company will implement the 7+ or 7-nm process technology on the company's lines.  Interestingly, more than half of the 7-nm projects relate to server solutions.  The company expects the main revenue growth from the release of 7-nm chips in 2020. EUV-radiation scanners are partly used by the company for the release of chips with the 7+ process technology and completely for the release of the first generation of 5-nm solutions.  Chips with the norms of 5-nm will massively be produced in 2020. Also, the company's customers were interested in 12-nm process technology.  It is suitable for the production of solutions for mobile electronics of primary and secondary levels.  The possibilities of the 12-nm process technology were of interest to more than 10 clients of the company, some of which prepare 7 projects for these technological standards.   Related Products :
