Fab Capacity Utilization
TSMC, UMC, and Samsung foundry utilization rates quarterly from Q1 2022 through Q1 2026.
- Coverage window
- Q1 2022 → Q3 2026 (23 rows)Computed from the backing series at page-render time — never typed by hand.
- History honesty
- Observations recorded as published; no archive backfill flag on this series.
- Cadence
- Event-driven — curated prints land when a dated public source publishes one (per-dataset cadence weekly → annual, see recommended_cadence). The market-data agent sweeps Sundays 02:00 UTC; prints that clear its validation gate (source-excerpt verification included) apply automatically, the rest queue for human review.
- Revision policy
- Points change only through staged updates (market_data_staged_updates) with an audit log; the Pro export carries X-Corrections-Count.
- Sources (source_name)
- Deep Research (120 sources) (4) · SemiAnalysis (4) · UMC Q2 2026 results release (2) · UMC earnings / Silicon Analysts (1) · UMC earnings / industry reports (1) · UMC Q1 2025 earnings / Silicon Analysts (1) · TSMC Annual Report 2024 (1) · TSMC Q1 2025 earnings / Silicon Analysts (1)
- Known gaps
- Known-gaps review pending — the coverage boundaries above are computed and current, but the curator’s qualitative gaps assessment has not been written yet. We state that rather than inventing one.
