"Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp (SMIC) is still struggling with less advanced 40-nm process technology.
"In the third quarter of this year, chips made on TSMC's advanced 20-nm process made up 9 percent of its total sales * * * while chips made on its 28-nm process made up 34 percent of the sales, down from 37 percent recorded in the previous quarter.

("張忠謀週二出席工研院院士會議，在會後記者會 * * * 說，10年前，中國占台積電營收幾乎是零，但現在比日本市場還大，與歐洲在伯仲之間，所以三星一定很垂涎中國市場。至於去中國投資的時間點？張忠謀表示，也許明年，也許不會發生，現在想法還沒成熟。即使有，應該是N-2代（即28奈米）製程，符合經濟部規範的N-1代以下。赴中投資的產能也僅占台積電很小部分")

("張忠謀 * * * 透露將以N-2（落後台灣2代製程）技術在中國擴產，但佔總產能應不會逾1成，不過，張忠謀強調，這要從長計議想法還不成熟，也許不發生也不一定。台積電目前量產最先進製程為16奈米，N-2等於是28奈米，而如此先進的製程必須在12吋生產，意味台積電將登陸設立12吋廠 [presently only 8-ch wafers in China]")
