In 3Q19, wafer shipments grew 4.4% to 1,806K. Quarterly capacity increased 1.7% QoQ to 2,004K, resulting in an overall utilization rate of 91%.
Capacity4 for Foundry Segment
Total capacity in the third quarter reached 2,004K 8-inch equivalent wafers. We foresee that fourth quarter capacity will grow to 2,237K 8-inch equivalent wafers, representing a sequential increase of 11.6% mainly due to the acquisition of USJC (Fab 12M) and the continuous capacity expansion at Fab 8N.
