TSMC, the leading producer of advanced chips for Apple and Nvidia, has restarted operations, less than 24 hours after evacuating staff and halting work.
| Taiwan’s semiconductor industry has restarted operations and emergency personnel continue to help injured and trapped citizens as the island begins to recover from its worst earthquake in 25 years.
Led by TSMC, national players produce an estimated 80 per cent to 90 per cent of the highest-end chips. “There is no damage to our critical tools including all of our extreme ultraviolet lithography tools,” TSMC said in a statement.A small number of tools were damaged at some facilities, but the company was deploying all available resources to ensure a full recovery, it added.
Some of the island’s tech firms are still assessing the damage from the earthquake, which levelled dozens of buildings on its eastern side.
