LONDON – Taiwan's United Microelectronics Corp. (UMC), which has been a struggling number two behind foundry leader Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (TSMC), could get one over on its long-time rival by being first in production with FinFET process technology.
This is despite the fact that TSMC (Hsinchu, Taiwan) was one of the originators of the FinFET idea more than a decade ago.
