Capacity[4] for Foundry Segment
Total capacity in the third quarter increased 1.5% to 1,685K 8-inch equivalent wafers. Continuous expansion of 28nm capacity at Fab 12A grew quarterly capacity to 206K in 3Q15 from 198K in 2Q15. The deployment of 8" capacity at Fab8N increased to 178K in 3Q15 up from 162K in 2Q15. Projected total capacity for the fourth quarter will grow to 1,690K 8-inch equivalent wafers due to continuous expansion at Fab 8N.
