Qualcomm is expected to add to the amount of orders for its WCDMA chips with Taiwan-based semiconductor makers, with the orders to be the first large batch of orders for handset chips for Taiwan, according to equipment makers, as quoted by the Chinese-language Commercial Times.

As a result, sales of Qualcomm's Taiwan-based partners such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), Advanced Semiconductor Engineering (ASE) and Kinsus Interconnect Technology will be significantly boosted, the paper said.

The orders from Qualcomm with TSMC will be for 90nm technology and more advanced, and this will help boost the utilization rate at TSMC's 12-inch plant (Fab 14) to 85-90%, the equipment makers were cited as saying.
