In 4Q19, the acquisition of USJC helped to lift wafer shipments to increase 13.1% QoQ to 2,042K, while quarterly capacity rose 11.6% QoQ to 2,237K. As a result, the overall utilization rate in 4Q19 was 92%. Full-year 2019 utilization rate was 89%.
Capacity4 for Foundry Segment
Total capacity in the fourth quarter reached 2,237K 8-inch equivalent wafers, which included 98K 12-inch equivalent wafers from Fab 12M. We foresee that first quarter capacity will grow 1.8% sequentially to 2,278K 8-inch equivalent wafers, mainly reflecting the capacity expansion at Fab 8N and Fab 12A.
