TSMC recently expressed its hope to establish a wholly-owned 12-inch wafer fab in mainland China and is currently evaluating the feasibility of related projects. At the investor meeting held on April 16, TSMC said that there is no timetable for establishing a 12-inch wafer fab in mainland China. Some major customers of TSMC have recommended that TSMC establish a 12-inch wafer fab in mainland China, and believe that the establishment of an advanced node fab in the local area can help TSMC accurately grasp customer needs. However, TSMC is also aware of the 12-inch fab in mainland China, which will have higher labor, water, electricity and other costs. At present, TSMC Songjiang Shanghai Co., Ltd. is considered by the outside world to be an ideal location for the establishment of a 12-inch wafer fab. TSMC has already established an 8-inch fab in Shanghai Songjiang. TSMC has seen the rise of the Chinese mainland market. TSMC's revenue in this market is gradually increasing. In the first quarter of this year, China's wafer revenue accounted for 8 of TSMC's total revenue, and the figure for the fourth quarter of last year was 6. On April 16, Taiwanese chip foundry manufacturer TSMC released its first quarter 2015 financial report on Thursday. The financial report showed that TSMC's net profit for the quarter increased by 65% ​​year-on-year, benefiting from strong market demand for Apple equipment. In the first quarter ended March 31, TSMC's net profit was NT$78.99 billion (US$2.53 billion), an increase of 65% from NT$47.87 billion in the same period last year, in line with market analysts' previous expectations. TSMC's first-quarter revenue was NT$22.03 billion, a 50-year increase from the same period last year, reaching the company's management's previously set goals. TSMC broke the market monopoly of Samsung Electronics last year and became the main chip supplier of Apple's iPhone. The huge orders from Apple pushed TSMC's 2014 revenue and net profit to a record high. However, TSMC issued a warning in January this year that the company's performance growth this year may be slowed down, because Apple will deliver some orders to Samsung Electronics. In the next generation of chip processing technology, Samsung Electronics is currently ahead of TSMC. The latest 14nm technology adopted by Samsung Electronics enables the chip to reduce manufacturing costs while making computing performance more prominent. This also puts the contract between TSMC and Apple at risk. Market analysts said that the increase in the supply of cheap chips in mainland China has also put pressure on existing companies such as TSMC.
