| Chang said he expects high growth in the next five to 10 years among Chinese chipmakers that outsource their production. |
| As such, it will be a good market for volume chipmakers for a few more years but will not have an obvious future survival path. |
| Despite such hazards, local chipmakers are moving forward with investment projects across the Strait. |
| For now Chinese manufacturers rely on imports of integrated circuits since local chipmakers cannot provide sufficiently sophisticated products. |
| Interference is one of the key obstacles to such handsets becoming viable and the chipmakers are seeking to solve the problem in different ways. |
| Brightfield inspection is used by chipmakers to find the most critical defects during wafer manufacturing. |
