The report said that the semiconductor silicon wafer market is experiencing a sharp price increase for the first time in more than three years. This price change not only affected the 12-inch specification, but also affected the 8-inch and 6-inch models. The report pointed out that some contracts for 12-inch polished silicon wafers on a semi-annual cycle have begun to apply new quotes that increase by about double digits; the 2027 price negotiations for 8-inch silicon wafers are also progressing according to an increase of 10% or more; the price negotiations for 6-inch silicon wafers, which are also ongoing, are expected to increase by about 10%.
