As the semiconductor industry is closely monitored by the Beijinggovernment, China has implemented national policies to expedite the development of its domestic IC design and semiconductor manufacturing through a multi-prong approach to support and expand its IC industry.

Annual capacity of the manufacturing facilities managed by TSMC and its subsidiaries exceeded 12 million 12-inch equivalent wafers in 2019. Construction is underway for Phases 5&6, with future plans for Phases 7&8. Fab 12A consists of Phases 1-4 which are in production for customer products down to 28nm. UMC has operated in the Tainan Science Park since November 1999, when Fab 12A was established as Taiwan's first 300mm fab. 8" 0.5 – 0.11 831 771 753 750 Fab 8N.

"Po-Wen Yen, CEO of UMC, said, "China's domestic semiconductor market has become the world's largest.

Xiamen is one of the five cities designated by China as a municipality with independent planning status. UMC's participation will comply with ROC rules and regulations and will be subject to review for approval by theTaiwan government authorities.UMC currently owns an 86.88% stake in HeJian Technology (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. which mainly provides 8" foundry services for Asia-Pacific and mainland Chinese customers. FAB 12A P3 & P4 is UMC's most advanced 300mm production fab.

The state-of-the-art P5 & P6 will provide advanced 28nm, 20nm, and 14nm capacity, and is scheduled for equipment move-in during the second half of 2013.

"Hsinchu, Taiwan -- The Board of Directors of United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC) (NYSE: UMC; TWSE: 2303), a leading global semiconductor foundry, today resolved to participate in a 3-way agreement for a joint venture company focused on 12" wafer foundry services with Xiamen Municipal People's Government and FuJian Electronics & Information Group. Based on the agreement, UMC will submit an investment application with ROC government authorities for approval to invest in the joint venture established by Xiamen Municipal People's Government and FuJian Electronics & Information Group.

Production is supported through 10 wafer manufacturing facilities that include two advanced 300mm fabs; Fab 12A in Taiwan and Singapore-based Fab 12i. In addition, UMC is a leader in 300mm manufacturing with strategically located 300mm fabs to serve our global customer base: Fab 12A in Taiwan and Fab 12i in Singapore.

The joint venture will be based in Xiamen, China. The company employs approximately 13,000 people worldwide and has offices in Taiwan, Japan, Singapore, Europe, and the United States.UMC Licenses Cypress’s SONOS Embedded Flash Memory IP for 55-nm Process Technology Node Capacity will reach 50K per month, with total investments targeted at US$6.2 billion. The company employs approximately 13,000 people worldwide and has offices in Taiwan, Japan, Singapore, Europe, and the United States. Production is supported through 10 wafer manufacturing facilities that include two advanced 300mm fabs; Fab 12A in Taiwan and Singapore-based Fab 12i are both in volume production for a variety of customer products.

UMC anticipates its investment could reach approximately US$1.35 billion in the next five years, with funding starting in 2015 deployed in installments based on the progress of the joint venture. The company employs over 15,000 people worldwide and has offices in Taiwan, mainland China, Europe,Japan, Korea, Singapore, and the United States.

UMC is a leading global semiconductor foundry.

Construction has been completed for Phases 5&6, with future plans for Phases 7&8. Fab 12A consists of Phases 1-4 which are in production for customer products down to 28nm.

UMC's SoC Solution Foundry strategy is based on the strength of the company's advanced technologies, which include production proven 90nm, 65nm, mixed signal/RFCMOS, and a wide range of specialty technologies. 12" 0.13 – 0.040 595 555 537 584 Fab … Fab 12A P3 & P4's green building certification from both Taiwan and the U.S., demonstrates UMC's green commitment and is a significant milestone in our efforts to promote CSR and sustainability. 230 230 228 218 Fab 12A.

UMC has operated in the Tainan Science Park since November 1999, when Fab 12A was established as Taiwan 's first 300mm fab.

CEO Yen continued, "The benefits for choosing Xiamen for the fab location are numerous. We anticipate the joint venture can propel the next round of UMC's foundry business growth.

UMC has operated in the Tainan Science Park since November 1999, when Fab 12A was established as Taiwan's first 300mm fab. We will further incorporate green initiatives for our upcoming P5 & P6 as well."
