3 Group announcement on July 6 that the board of directors decided to sign a letter of intent with the major semiconductor manufacturers in Taiwan, which will help the company obtain capacity support for operations, but the specific conditions of the cooperation case are still to be discussed by both parties and a final formal contract is signed.

UD In late April, it announced that it will work with 8 customers to expand the production capacity of the Fab 12A P6 factory in the Nanke 12-inch factory. According to the reciprocal agreement with customers, customers will pay deposits in advance at an agreed price to ensure that the long-term guarantee of P6's future production capacity is obtained.

was also reported previously, and the eight customers who signed an agreement with UMC, including Samsung , MediaTek , Lianyong , Realtek , Purui - KY, and qunlian is one of them.

Group Alliance pointed out that the price increase in semiconductor supply chain this year has not seen a slowdown, including the 8-inch and 12-inch wafer foundry prices of wafer factories, IC carrier board and IC packaging foundry prices, DRAM/SDRAM prices, PCB and Connector MLCC, etc.

Therefore, UMC issued a price increase notice to customers at the beginning of the second quarter, launching a plan to adjust the increase of each product line. All new orders will be fully adjusted, among which power management ICs or other 8-inch wafer fab process products have the highest increase. Pan Jiancheng, Chairman of

, also emphasized that although the upstream and downstream supply links of semiconductors have been rising prices and are forced to reflect the increase in costs, it still hopes to improve the product portfolio and increase gross profit margin, rather than relying on price increases. Through product transformation or technology improvement, it will contribute significantly to gross profit margin.
