Taiwan Economic Daily reports TSMC plans to raise wafer-foundry prices for mature process nodes from January following earlier hikes on advanced nodes. IC design firms said they will still seek more foundry capacity for next year than they secured this year to support growth. Designers noted that rising mature-node pricing in 1H—from OSATs and non‑TSMC foundries—has already pushed up production costs and led to product price negotiations with clients; a TSMC increase would prompt further client

Taiwan Economic Daily reports TSMC plans to raise wafer-foundry prices for mature process nodes from January following earlier hikes on advanced nodes.

Designers noted that rising mature-node pricing in 1H—from OSATs and non‑TSMC foundries—has already pushed up production costs and led to product price negotiations with clients; a TSMC increase would prompt further client renegotiations and downstream cost pass‑throughs.
