As a link to the Pacific Rim Taiwan earthquake belt, earthquakes in Taiwan in my country are not new, among which Hualien is one of the areas with the most earthquakes. At noon today, another magnitude 6.7 earthquake occurred in Hualien area, with a strong tremor in the epicenter area. Other areas outside Hualien were also affected to a certain extent, but there is no news of casualties at present. Taiwan is an important base for the global electronics industry. Will this major earthquake affect the supply of electronic products? The most eye-catching thing is of course the production of TSMC's wafer . There were previously reports that Taiwan wafer fabs were shut down, but TSMC confirmed that their wafer production base was not affected. However, after this earthquake, some groups did see people taking the opportunity to hype, saying that electronic products will be out of stock and increase prices, so everyone should be more cautious. After the earthquake of
, a source in the Taiwan industry chain @mobile chip expert said, "Taiwan's super earthquake, fabs will be shut down immediately." Although he did not mention which fab was shut down, this news caused some people to panic, worried about the price increase of electronic products. Judging from the information leaked from some QQ groups, there are really people who take the opportunity to hype it up, saying that the price of graphics cards and other products will increase, and everyone should start quickly. Anyway, it is an opportunity to market. When the
earthquake occurred, TSMC was about to hold a legal person briefing meeting. This issue became a focus of this briefing meeting. TSMC official stated that their wafer factories in Hsinchu Science and Technology Park, Central Science and Technology Park, and the Southern Science and Technology Park were not affected. Only the factory in Longtan in Taoyuan was evacuated due to the tremor and has returned to normal.
In general, because TSMC's production base is not located in the earthquake zone, production has not been affected. Although other semiconductor manufacturers cannot be ruled out, as long as TSMC is not affected, as long as TSMC is not affected, it is impossible for CPU, graphics card , mobile processor and other products to be out of stock or price increase.
In addition, Taiwan’s two major panel manufacturers, AUDA Optoelectronics and Qunchuang Optoelectronics also stated that the production line was not affected by the earthquake and was operating normally.
