The company operates USCXM, a wafer foundry that began commercial mass production in 2016, producing on 40nm and 28nm technology nodes. Hejian Technology (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. invested US$500 million in USCXM, with the investment completed in March 2023. In 2022, Hejian and UMC made additional investments approved by the R.O.C. government to purchase equity interest in USCXM, resulting in full ownership by the company and Hejian as of July 2023. USCXM is one of four 12-inch fabs providing fabrication services to global customers.
In January 2024, the company entered a collaboration with Intel Corporation to jointly develop and commercialize 12nm technology, combining Intel's U.S. manufacturing capacity with the company's foundry experience. The collaboration aims to establish a 12nm semiconductor process platform and expand U.S.-based production starting in 2027.
The company also approved capital injections in UMC Capital Corp., 7V AI Capital LLC, and Faraday Technology Corp. In April 2024, Hejian approved the disposal of its ownership in UnitedDS Semiconductor (Shandong) Co., Ltd. to SiS Semiconductor (Shandong) Co., Ltd., an associate of UMC. This transaction was completed in August 2024 for RMB¥77 million (approximately NT$341 million).
