June sales down at UMC, but half-year up 28% Semiconductor Business News (07/09/03 07:09 a.m. EST) TAIPEI, Taiwan --- June 2003 sales revenue at foundry chip supplier United Microelectronics Corp. (UMC) was NT$7028 million (about $204 million) up 4.7 percent from the same month a year before and down 4.5 percent from sales revenue in May 2003, UMC said Wednesday (July 9, 2003). The monthly results are a contrast to those of rival foundry Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd., which announced June sales climbing on both a monthly sequential and year-on-year basis (see July 7 story). However, UMC had put in solid year-on-year growth in the previous five months and, in consequence, its sales revenue for the first half of 2003 was NT$39.6 billion (about $1.15 billion) which, even taking into account the June figure is 28.8 percent ahead of the same period in 2002.
