Alan Patterson, EETimes, Jul. 27, 2017 – 

TAIPEI - United Microelectronics Corp. (UMC), Taiwan's second largest foundry, has started its first production of 14nm products, narrowing a technology gap with its larger competitors such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) and Samsung.

UMC said that, during the second quarter this year, 14nm accounted for 1 percent of its total revenue for the first time.
