Taipei, Jan. 27 (CNA) Four major contract chipmakers in Taiwan have agreed to assign capacity to manufacture chips for car use in a bid to alleviate a global shortage of automotive chips, Minister of Economic Affairs Wang Mei-hua (王美花) said Wednesday.
Wang made the comments after she met with representatives from the four contract chipmakers Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC), United Microelectronics Corp. (UMC), Vanguard International Semiconductor Co. (VIS) and Powerchip Technology Corp. at a time when global automakers have urged Taiwan to increase automotive chip supplies.
