Taiwan-based foundry houses are running at full capacity for their 28nm and more mature processes, and are said to have already reached agreements with their clients for supply in 2022. The supply of 28nm and more mature processes has already fallen short of demand, which is expected to grow further in 2022 and worsen the shortage. Canada is devoting efforts to promote an ecological transition in transportation. Digitimes recently talked to Propulsion Quebec CEO Sarah Houde to find out how the Canadian province is building its EV value chain.
Taiwan foundries running at full capacity for mature processes: TSMC, United Microelectronics (UMC), Vanguard International Semiconductor (VIS) and Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing (PSMC) continue to run at full capacity for their 28nm and above process technologies, which may persist through the end of this year, according to industry sources.
Foundries to see demand for 28nm process surge in 2022: Foundries have seen their 28nm process capacity become tight due mainly to supply-side issues, but the shortage will worsen in 2022 as chip orders demanding the process manufacturing will surge, according to industry sources.
Ecological transition in transportation: Q&A with Propulsion Quebec CEO Sarah Houde: As electrification becomes a clear trend for future cars, solutions for infrastructure, power supply and batteries are very much in need to develop a sound and sustainable ecosystem in line with such a trend. Propulsion Quebec is an NPO created to support the ecological transition of transportation by enhancing the collaborative efforts of the industry.
