Singapore Chartered Semiconductor CEO will visit Taiwan or merge with the United

According to the semiconductor industry network reported that Singapore's Chartered Semiconductor CEO Xie Songhui (Chia Song Hwee) will be a low-key visit to Taiwan counterparts, and the purpose of this trip is said to discuss the merger with the local wafer factory. The Reuters has reported at the end of October 2008, TSMC is chartered with merger talks, but TSMC CEO Rick Tsai (Rick Tsai) subsequently denied this rumor. But CEO Sun Shiwei (Shih-Wei Sun) has repeatedly said that the ongoing recession will inevitably lead to the merger of the industry, and the United States is pleased to see this phenomenon. In view of this, the industry generally believe that Xie Songhui's visit is the main object of access to electricity. Once one of the Chartered and Taiwan two foundries combined, will greatly change the entire industry outlook and situation, either TSMC, UMC or large to narrow the gap between tsmc. Chartered Semiconductor currently has a market share of 7.4%.
