Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has received huge LCD driver IC orders from local companies as well as Japanese companies. But local newspaper reported saying that the orders received is larger than the output capacity of its six-inch Fab 2 plant, thus TSMC has sent partial of these orders to Vanguard International Semiconductor (VIS) to meet the production schedule.
TSMC is said to have also transferred some low-end to mid-range, 0.35-micron-process communications chip orders to VIS. Vanguard, which began developing high-voltage process technology for LCD driver ICs last year and now the total capacity from its two 8-in facilities will produce over 40k wafers per month.
VIS predicts that logic ICs will grow to more than 50% of its overall sales while DRAM's share of its total sales falls. TSMC is a major VIS shareholder, holding a 25.28% stake.
