From 2002, the rivalry between Taiwan and Korea to best each other in production capacity emerged. Taiwanese vendors expanded production capacity more aggressively, and it is projected that at the end of this year, more than five fifth-generation and three sixth-generation production plants will be located in Taiwan.
2002 年後，台灣和韓國兩強產能競逐的態勢成形，台灣廠商擴產更加積極，預計到今年底為止，全台將有超過 4 座 5 代廠及 3 座 6 代廠。
