台湾半导体制造公司期望1998年全球集成电路市场的需求量将增长10％,尽管亚洲的金融风暴及日本的经济萧条正在遏制市场需求量的增长。该公司誓言将继续执行其雄心勃勃的扩展计划——将其生产能力提高40％,预计1998年生产167万块8-inch晶圆片。该公司董事长Morris Chang在一次新闻发布会上表示:“今年第二季度芯片市场的需求前景尚不明朗,但是我们对今年下半年的芯片市场前景充满信心。”
Taiwan’s semiconductor manufacturing company expects that demand for the global integrated circuit market will increase by 10% in 1998, although the financial turmoil in Asia and Japan’s economic recession are constraining the growth in market demand. The company vowed to continue its ambitious expansion plan - to increase its production capacity by 40%, is expected to produce 1.67 million 8-inch wafers in 1998. Morris Chang, chairman of the company, said at a press conference: “The demand outlook for the chip market in the second quarter of this year is not yet clear, but we are confident about the future of the chip market in the second half of this year.”
