Global MOSFET suppliers seeking capacity support from Taiwan, China players

With global shipments of electric cars seen to grow sharply in 2018, the supply of vital components, particularly high-voltage MOSFET (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor) chips, is increasingly falling short of demand, prompting leading makers of such chips, including STMicroelectronics, Infineon, Texas Instrument (TI) and NXP, to seek capacity support from IC foundry, packaging and testing houses across the Taiwan Strait, according to industry sources.
