Fabrication and packaging sites

17 site(s) recorded on the fab map: 9 operating, 5 under construction, 3 announced. Grouped by the status each site is published under, in the same order on every page. The order is not a judgement about which sites matter. Groups of more than 6 are folded so the page does not open with a wall of rows; the fold is about length and nothing else, and every site is still on the page. A site run by a joint venture appears on every partner's page.

Stated capacity

1 statement covers 2 of the 17 sites recorded here. They are quoted as published, because they are not the same kind of figure as each other: some are installed and some planned, some are bounds rather than figures, and some describe a whole site rather than one fab. They are not added together, here or anywhere else on this site. A total built from the sites that happen to carry a figure would be a number no publisher stated.

“the Kumamoto site is expected to offer a total production capacity of more than 100,000 12-inch wafers per month”

Named in a headline

A literal text match on the company's name, counted and not curated. It misses items that discuss the company without naming it, and collects items that only mention the name. It is not a measure of coverage.

How these lists are built

Matched on the company's name in the headline, counted and not curated. This is a literal, case-sensitive text match and not a judgement about what an item is about: it misses items that discuss the company without naming it, and collects items that only mention the name. It is not a measure of coverage. Strings matched: TSMC, Taiwan Semiconductor.

Sites are joined by the operator string in the fab data, which is declared per operator rather than matched, because a third of those strings are not a company name.
