SAN JOSE, Calif.—Morris Chang, chairman and CEO of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (TSMC), acknowledged Tuesday (April 17) that the foundry giant has experienced issues at the 28-nm node, but said the problems were related to capacity, not yield.

Chang told an audience at TSMC's annual technology symposium that TSMC's 28-nm yields have from the beginning been in line with the firm's projections.
