Taiwan semiconductor fabs: 68 percent face equipment compatibility bottlenecks, opening door for South Korean suppliers
About 68 percent of Taiwan fabs are facing bottlenecks due to compatibility problems between equipment, creating openings for South Korean suppliers. As Taiwan runs a 15.4 billion Taiwan dollar semiconductor automation programme and TSMC builds more new plants, demand for logistics automation is rising. Proprietary functions and standards, especially around FOUP interfaces and OHT integration, are raising complexity and total cost of ownership. South Korean firms are offering AI and robotics-based integrated control solutions.
