Installed 200mm capacity worldwide, actual 200mm wafers
SEMI on 2026. Every value ever published for this period, in the order it was issued. Nothing here is computed: no delta, no percentage, no judgement about the movement.

Wafer basis: 200mm actual. That is this record's reading of which report the figure came from. NOT the publisher's words. The release says "200mm fab capacity" and "wafers per month" without the word actual; the basis follows from the product, SEMI's 200mm Fab Outlook, which covers 200mm fabs only and therefore has nothing to convert to equivalents. This record's reasoning, written down here rather than asserted as a quotation.
Everything published for this period
1 statement, so this figure has been published once and not yet restated. That is a fact about the publisher, not a gap in this record. Ordered by the date each was issued.
| Issued | Value as published | Source | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2023-09-19 | more than 7.7 million wafers per month (wpm) lower bound | first on the record | Global 200mm Fabs to Reach Record High Capacity by 2026, SEMI Reports, 19 September 2023 |
The result
No result for this period is on the record. That means this record does not hold one, which is not the same as the publisher not having reported one.

The figure, the publisher, the date it was issued, the source, and what it replaced. The last of those is the part no other source can give you. Every qualifier the publisher attached travels with it.

For the bottom of a slide
Source: SEMI (2023-09-19), Global 200mm Fabs to Reach Record High Capacity by 2026, SEMI Reports, 19 September 2023. Figure as published is stated as a lower bound. Revision history: https://siliconalmanac.com/figure/semi-200mm-capacity/2026/
One line. The value is deliberately not repeated here: on a slide the number is on the slide, and a footnote that restates it is one edit away from disagreeing with it.

Two lines, tab separated: the headings and one row. Tabs rather than commas because several of these values contain commas, and quoting rules are a second thing to get wrong. The columns do not line up on screen and do line up once pasted.
