[4] Utilization Rate = Quarterly Wafer Out / Quarterly Capacity |
Capacity[5] for Foundry Segment
Capacity during the first quarter was 1,563K 8-inch equivalent wafers. The incremental increase in capacity was due to the advance node capacity expansion at Fab 12A. The estimated installed capacity for the second quarter of 2014 will be 1,597K 8-inch equivalent wafers, due to the capacity expansion mainly from Fab 8N and advanced node expansion at 12" facilities.
