A 7.4 magnitude earthquake occurred in Taiwan in the past hours. This earthquake, which was announced to have occurred 18 kilometers south of the city of Hualien, reportedly killed more than four people, while warnings were also issued against the risk of tsunami. This earthquake did not affect companies either. So much so that there are statements that some companies have stopped production. According to the information, these companies include semiconductor giant Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, or TSMC for short. Here are the details…
TSMC has stopped production in some of its factories!
Due to the earthquake, which is said to be more effective especially on the east coast of Taiwan, it was announced that TSMC stopped work in some chip manufacturing factories. It is not known when the company will resume work again.
TSMC’s production shutdown at some of its factories could have a significant impact on the global semiconductor market. The company supplies critical components to many technology companies around the world. In this context, any disruption in production, especially prolonged stoppages, could lead to supply problems for a range of electronic products such as smartphones and computers.
Various sources suggest that TSMC will not suffer a serious financial loss and that the company will resume operations in a short period of time. The company is expected to make a statement on this issue. At this point, it is worth remembering that human life is more important than anything else.
So what do you think about this issue? Do you think TSMC’s stopping production in some of its factories will lead to a supply problem globally? You can share your opinions with us in the Comments section below.
