With a strategic focus on advancing its cutting - edge processes and packaging technologies, TSMC has decided to outsource its mature process business, which ranges from 40nm to 90nm, to Vanguard International Semiconductor. This step is aimed at safeguarding its targeted gross margin of 53%. By implementing price hikes and undergoing business restructuring, TSMC seeks to counteract the dilution of its gross margin resulting from the establishment of overseas factories. Moreover, the company is intent on bolstering its high - margin business segments. In the future, it is anticipated that TSMC will gradually phase out inefficient production lines, thereby cementing its position and enhancing its market competitiveness. This strategic maneuver is poised to exert a far - reaching influence on the entire global semiconductor industry supply chain.
