"TSMC" stops manufacturing slides to determine the effect of the Taiwan earthquake
The company “Taiwan Seismonductor Manufacturing”, known as “TSMC”, has some chip industry operations, and its factories have been evacuated after it struck the oldest earthquake in 25 years of the Mother Island that embraced its facilities, which expressed concern about the unrest in the global technology. “TSMC”, the most important manufacturer of the “Apple” and “Invidia” chips, has transferred employees from certain areas, saying that it works to judge the effects of the 7.4 -degree earthquake on the east coast of Taiwan. United Microelectronics Corp also said the smallest local competition in a statement that it also stopped the work of devices in a number of factories, and some facilities in its centers in the Hsncho cities and Tinan were evacuated. It is noteworthy that the Taiwanese companies, from TSNC to ASE technology, hold, the vast majority of semiconductors entering the hardware industry, from iPhone to cars, collect and collect by factories affected by the lowest earthquakes. Any earthquake destroys complete groups of accurate semiconductors. The prices of “TSMC” share did not see a remarkable change in New York on Wednesday morning, while the prices of “United Micro Electronics” fell by less than 1%. “The strong demand for advanced contracts provided by the company will reduce any financial traces” caused by the earthquake, reflecting the general expectations between analysts indicating a limited possible impact, “Bloomberg Intelligence analysts said. Evaluation of the effects of the earthquake. The evacuated areas began to study the influence. Estimated 80% to 90% of the latest slides needed for advanced applications such as smartphones and management officers. Always indicated the risks to focus the production of advanced semiconductors in the world, regardless of the natural shocks, a possible military ignition point. Taiwanese companies – including TSMC – to diversify geographically. But TSMC expansion projects are currently in Japan and the United States will take time to achieve their full operating speed, and US businesses such as micro technology still retain their most important operations on the island. ‘Micron’ said it evaluated its operations and its supply chain, but all the employees are good.
