TAIPEI — MediaTek Inc. said it will continue to use Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) as its foundry for leading edge chips, laying to rest rumors that the world’s third-largest chip designer might shift orders to TSMC rival Samsung.
MediaTek will use TSMC’s 16nm FinFET Plus and 10nm process technology for its next-generation chips, according to MediaTek Chief Financial Officer David Ku, speaking to EE Times on the sidelines of the Computex electronics trade show in Taipei.
“TSMC’s support has been excellent,” he said.
