NANKER earthquake affected TSMC, UMC and other affected households

On the morning of 6 Taiwan earthquake of magnitude 6.4 struck near the epicenter of the park has been sporadic disaster, Taiwan foundry industry factory TSMC, UMC because the earthquake occurred in the wafer fragment, panel makers Innolux five factory room or even a small fire, a few hours after the blessing is extinguished, many manufacturers now shut down, the restoration of production the inventory loss.

Taiwan industry bureau pointed out, the regional industrial disaster situation, only the Central Industrial Zone, there are two sporadic damage, District Bureau of industry of pipeline has no exception, rather than the current return conditions for industrial zone factory or office a little loss, the loss amount of return Industry Bureau in the tens of millions, partly because of power failure due to jump the equipment has been put into production, the complex machine, is not affected, the company is expected to quickly clean up, recovery of production line.

NANKER solar photovoltaic manufacturers return status related structures and equipment are safe, partly because of jump failure due to equipment, have complex machine into production is not affected, the company is expected to quickly clean up, restore full production in southern part of LED manufacturers ceiling drop, pipeline rupture has an emergency repair still, does not affect the production.

The foundry panel factory and the loss is more serious, TSMC, UMC and panel makers Innolux etc. because of strong earthquakes, the machine automatically shut down the machine start protection mechanism, TSMC, UMC fragments are still in the situation appeared, loss of inventory status.

TSMC has 12 inch, 8 inch wafer plant in the south of a TSMC pointed out that plants are not damaged, the machine did not shift, is expected to more than 95% machine fully recovered in two to three days. Currently deployed in Hsinchu and Taichung factory staff to support the plant in Tainan, the official estimate, the impact of the earthquake on the first quarter shipments of not more than 1%, will go back to work as soon as possible to make up for the damaged wafer.

A total of four South UMC fab for earthquake start automatic safety mechanism, production of MICROTEK circle is affected, the same work across the board inventory, while UMC said the incident did not affect the shipment.

In the same system when earthquake machine, automatic closing protection machine, the Tainan factory and Kaohsiung factory is a comprehensive inspection shutdown state, Tainan factory Innolux five plant in the earthquake occurred at room of a small fire, but the fire in the morning of the 6 day of 5:57 in real time has been extinguished, impact on the operation is still in the assessment.

AUO due to concentrated in plant science, Hsinchu and Taoyuan, in the south of the earthquake has not been much affected.

Industry bureau pointed out that the current Tainan city is still in the water, including science and technology, Tainan Anping and Yongkang industrial zone are affected, South Park has a full-time water supply was not affected, while Yongkang and Anping Industrial Zone for the Spring Festival holiday and most manufacturers spare storage effect than the micro, is currently in the pipeline repair, the rest of the supply of water and electricity all normal.
