The current production capacity of chip foundries is generally tight. Many chip foundries have been operating at full capacity, but they still cannot meet the strong demand for chip foundry. Chips for automobiles, smartphones, and other fields, are still in short supply.
UMC, which has 12 fabs and a monthly capacity of more than 750,000 8-inch wafers, is also one of the foundries that are already operating at full capacity. Due to the tight production capacity, there was also news in March that UMC would raise the price of chip foundry again.
