UMC's Q3 -Revealing an after-tax net profit of NT$14.47 billion, which is a 5% increase quarter-over-quarter but a 9.4% decline year-over-year. -Earnings per share were NT$1.16, marking the highest level in the past year. -The results met expectations, driven by strong demand for the 22/28nm, with wafer shipments growing 7.8% from the previous quarter. Special processes reached a record high, accounting for 53.1% of total revenue. -Utilization high-60s% -Looking ahead to the fourth quarter, demand across various end markets appears to have stabilized, with inventory levels declining. As Taiwan’s 2nd biggest chip foundry, UMC is able to produce wafers with a variety of process technologies ranging from 0.45 microns to 28nm, covering high voltage, RF, mixed signal, logic, CMOS image sensing and embedded non-volatile memory processes. UMC's Strong Points: -UMC has carved out a strong position in mature processes, particularly 28nm and 22nm technologies. By halting R&D on advanced nodes below 12nm in 2018, UMC shifted its focus to maximizing returns on investment. This strategic pivot has allowed UMC to capitalize on the growing demand for 28nm technology, particularly for OLED driver ICs, where it leads the market. -Local market presence in China. Disadvantages: -As the chip market transitioned from high demand to sluggishness, UMC faced challenges due to price reductions from competitors. The 28nm market is becoming increasingly crowded, with over ten manufacturers, including TSMC, ramping up production capacity.

#年輕係咪罪 #idea #first #young #youth #future #giveway #path #business #marketing #creativity If your work isn't idea driven, then you really have no idea on what you are doing. Get It? The innovation, the thought-process, the sparkles all need to be driven by an idea or a concept first. If you start thinking about all the controls such as budget, cost, time and process constraints, you are only limiting your thoughts within a boundary. This does not mean that you don't consider them at all, in fact, keep them at the back of your mind but never let your creative thoughts or idea be miffed out at the first instance. I understand this is how we were trained at schools or even at universities, but this is where I think the problem lies, and eventually when we step into the workforce, we become pigeon-holed into roles and responsibilities as well as bureaucratic management practices that locks us out of going forward. And I see this is a big problem in Hong Kong ways of working and practices, where (almost) everything is about following rules and not raising/voicing out your ideas. The worst part is that seniority is king, and anything or any idea that a younger person has gets shot down IMMEDIATELY in most cases. That's why I was so gangster happy to see the likes of Novel Flash raising these kind of bs old people mentality because frankly if you look around at some of the ways in how 'old mindsets' run companies and communities, you know why things are going backwards. I've met a lot of young aspirational boys and girls over the past 2 years in town and they've voiced out the same thing, like what rapper Ludacris would say.." Move b***h! Get Out The Way!" As senior leaders, our role is to foster young energy and let them experiment, let them fail, let them try and fail forward, and what I learnt from Wieden + Kennedy, fail harder. I do want to praise those leaders, owners and founders who do treasure and value ideas and inputs from the younger generation and also using your wealth of experience to work together as ONE that helps to build a better future for all of us, thank you. 諗番起以前年輕嘅哥哥張國榮同梅姐梅艷芳，佢地後生嘅時候嘅演繹係‘好放好自然’，依家呢代嘅所為嘅主流就只覺得綑綁同鎖死。
