Ngekota yesithathu, i-TSMC ilindele ukuthi imali engenayo ikhuphuke cishe ngo-19%, kodwa ikota yesibili ibingenamandla njengesikhathi esifanayo ngonyaka odlule. Okungenani ozakwethu abavela kusayithi bathi ngokwenani lama-wafers e-silicon asetshenziwe, ikota yesibili yalo nyaka ibe yimbi kakhulu ku-TSMC kule minyaka emithathu edlule. Lokhu kungokwemvelo, njengoba ingxenye yokuqala yonyaka ibonise ukupholisa kokubili emakethe yama-smartphone nasengxenyeni yeseva. Amakhasimende e-TSMC achaze izenzakalo ezinjalo emibikweni yawo yekota kanye nezibikezelo, ngakho-ke sasingekho isidingo esengeziwe sezinsizakalo ze-TSMC.
Kodwa-ke, emcimbini wokutholwa kwekota, abaphathi be-TSMC bazwakalise ukuzethemba ukuthi "okuphansi sekudlulile" futhi ukusebenza kwezimali kwenkampani kuzobuyela ekukhuleni engxenyeni yesibili yonyaka. Lokhu kuzokwenziwa lula kokubili ukunwetshwa kwe-EUV lithography kanye nokulungiswa kwemakethe yokushintshela kumazinga okuxhumana esizukulwane se-5G, okuzoqala kusenesikhathi.
Enye igrafu ethokozisayo ikhombisa ukuguquguquka kwezinguquko emalini engenayo ye-TSMC evela ezinqubweni ezahlukahlukene zobuchwepheshe. Ingasetshenziselwa ukulandelela, isibonelo, ukuthi ukwanda kwesidingo sobuchwepheshe be-7nm kwenzeke engxenyeni yesine yonyaka odlule, futhi kusukela ngaleso sikhathi kuye kwabhekana nokulungiswa okuphawulekayo. Kodwa-ke, ekupheleni konyaka inkampani ilindele ukwandisa isabelo semali engenayo kusukela ekuthengisweni kwemikhiqizo engu-7-nm kuya ku-25%, ngakho-ke isidingo sezinsizakalo ezihambisanayo sizokhula nakanjani.
Ubuchwepheshe be-28nm bungabuye buthathwe njengemakethe yesibindi eside, isabelo sayo semali engenayo ye-TSMC yehla ngokungenakugwenywa, kodwa lokhu kwenzeka ngokushelela. Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi ikota edlule imakwe ukwanda kwentshisekelo yamakhasimende ezinqubweni zobuchwepheshe ze-16-nm kanye ne-20-nm. Kepha ubuchwepheshe benqubo ye-10-nm, ngemuva kwamanani aphezulu wekota yokugcina ka-2017, yehle kakhulu ngokwemali engenayo; engxenyeni yokugcina yalo nyaka, inkampani ayitholanga ngaphezu kuka-3% wemali engenayo ekuthengisweni. yemikhiqizo ewumongo.
