Sumco, Sino-American Silicon, and its subsidiary GlobalWafers said artificial intelligence applications are driving wafer demand, leaving 300 mm in shortage and improving conditions for 200 mm. Sumco echoed its peers' view that prices are not high enough to warrant long-term agreements.
Sumco’s small research and development budget is a result of a disciplined approach to focus on a select group of cutting-edge products.
Multiple Chinese entrants would limit industry profitability once they scale up 300 mm wafer production.
