TSMC Sees Orders Rising From Motorola Next Year, CT Reports
Taipei, Nov. 2 (Bloomberg) -- Motorola Inc. will increase its orders to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., the world's No. 1 chips contract maker, the Commercial Times reported quoting TSMC Chairman Morris Chang. Chang's comment follows market talks yesterday that the world's No. 2 cellular-phone maker will ask TSMC to make one million eight-inch equivalent wafers next year that can bring in as much as NT$50 billion ($1.6 billion) in sales, the paper said. Chang declined to give an amount, except to say that the one million wafers figures are too high.
TSMC said last week that it expects sales to jump to NT$300 billion in 2005 from about NT$80 billion this year, including sales at two unlisted units.
