Taipei, May 10 (CNA) Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC), the world's largest contract chipmaker, said on Monday that its sales for April fell more than 13 percent from a month earlier, with analysts attributing the fall to the slow-season effect in the second quarter for the global smartphone market. In a statement, TSMC said it posted NT$111.32 billion (US$4.00 billion) in consolidated sales, down 13.8 percent from March, but up 16 percent from a year earlier. The April figure was the second-lowest of the year after February's NT$106.53 billion.
