In 2Q20, wafer shipments increased 3.3% QoQ to 2,218K, while quarterly capacity rose 0.6% QoQ to 2,291K. As a result, the overall utilization rate in 2Q20 was 98%.
Capacity4
Total capacity in the second quarter totaled 2,291K 8-inch equivalent wafers. We foresee third quarter capacity will grow to 2,308K 8-inch equivalent wafers, mainly reflecting capacity increases at Fab 12i and Fab 12X.
