Demand for advanced chips outstripped supply in the first quarter of
this year, the head of the world's biggest contract chipmaker said on
Tuesday, raising the prospect of component shortages and delays to
some of the worldâs most popular consumer gadgets later this year. 
 
Morris Chang, chairman of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co,
said all electronics sectors showed stronger than seasonal demand.  âWe
have been building capacity as fast as we could and the result is still
that demand is 30 per cent greater than supply,â he said.
