TSMC stopped production of processors and evacuated employees from all factories after the earthquakes in Taiwan, which were the most powerful in the last 25 years.
The Taiwanese companies United Microelectronics and ASE Technology did the same.
TSMC chips are used in many popular devices. The company’s main client is Apple. TSMC produces processors for all Apple equipment.
The suspension of production may have a negative impact on the supply of equipment, but everything will be protected from the fact that TSMC factories will be closed for a long time. TSMC is currently studying the effects of earthquakes.
The shutdown of assembly lines could disrupt the production of some high-end chips, which require machinery to run automatically around the clock for weeks. [Bloomberg]
