Digitimes reported last month that electronics supplier TSMC is preparing to manufacture fingerprint sensors for the upcoming iPhone 6 and is moving to 8-inch WLP components (12-inch modules were used in the production of modules for iPhone 5s).

The fact is that with the 65nm process, which was used to manufacture 12-inch WLP components, the scrap rate reached 30%, while when switching to 8-inch, the number of defective modules would drop to 5%.

It was Xintec's low manufacturing efficiency with Touch ID that caused the limited supply of the iPhone 5s. However, these issues have now been resolved and TSMC will use a more streamlined manufacturing process for iPhone 6 parts.
