Wafer-Pricing War Rages In Taiwan - good news for Cube? (04/08/97; 10:00 a.m. EST) By Mark LaPedus , Electronic Buyers' News Prices for silicon wafers among several Taiwan IC foundries have hit their lowest levels ever, according to industry managers. Following a 3-month-old price war between two Taiwan foundry companies -- Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. and United Microelectronics Corp. -- the average price of a 6-inch wafer has dropped by about 50 percent to $300 since the beginning of the year, according to local sources. Analysts said they also believe 8-inch wafer prices among foundry companies will drop by about 30 percent this year. IC makers will benefit by this trend, but it spells trouble for the highly profitable wafer foundry business, according to analysts.
