Taiwan's TSMC, the world's largest contract manufacturer of semiconductors, said in a statement on the night of the 4th that the recovery rate of its factory equipment has already exceeded 80%, and that its new factory, which mass-produces the world's most advanced semiconductors, will be fully restored. It was revealed that it was a prospect.
TSMC revealed that the earthquake on the 3rd damaged a small number of equipment in some factories and affected production lines.
In a statement released on the night of the 4th, it was announced that the recovery rate of factory equipment has already exceeded 80%, and that the new factory is expected to be fully restored overnight.
The new factory will also include a factory in Tainan in the south, which is currently mass producing the world's most advanced 3-nanometer semiconductors.
Meanwhile, on the 4th, the National Science and Technology Commission, which has jurisdiction over the science park where semiconductor factories including TSMC are located, explained the state of recovery after the earthquake.
According to the report, of the three science parks in Tainan, all major factories in Tainan have returned to normal operations, and most factories in Hsinchu in the north and Taichung in the center have also returned to normal operations. doing.
While there is a view that the concentration of production of cutting-edge semiconductors in Taiwan is a risk, the Taiwanese authorities are aiming to dispel concerns that the supply chain will be affected by this earthquake. that's right.
