[News] UMC, VIS, PSMC Reportedly Eye Mature-Node Price Hikes Up to 10% From Apr.; IC Designers May Follow
What happened
UMC, VIS, PSMC, and Nexchip are reportedly planning to raise mature-node foundry prices by up to 10% starting as early as April 2026, with Powerchip already implementing increases this quarter. This move is driven by tightening supply-demand dynamics as TSMC shifts capacity to advanced nodes and demand from automotive, industrial, and server applications recovers. 利多: Direct upward pressure on wafer costs for IC designers, likely to be passed through the supply chain, impacting component pricing.
