“The demand of 16-nanometer process from customers is strong, there’s no inventory control problem.” said Morris Chang.

Morris forecast that its 16-nanometer process production will surpass 20-nanometer in terms of sales revenue in 2016.

Meanwhile, Morris Chang said that to add up 20-nanometer and 16-nanometer processes’ sales revenue, the total will higher than 28-nanometer. On the other hand, Morris Chang pointed out that 10-nanometer and 7-nanometer processes’ production capacity is smaller than that of 20-nanometer and 16-nanometer.

However, Morris Chang stated that 10-nanometer and 7-nanometer processes’ sales revenue is bigger than 20-nanometer and 16-nanometer processes.
