Apple Silicon supplier Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC) resumed work at its production sites in the earthquake-hit country after pausing it for a day for inspections, the company said in a statement on Thursday.
Reuters:
The quake had raised fears of disruptions to chip supply as TSMC produces a big share of the most advanced semiconductors, and its customers include Apple and AI chip leader Nvidia.
TSMC said its initial checks showed that safety systems at its Taiwan-based chip fabs were operating normally. Some fabs were evacuated but all personnel were safe and had returned to their workplace shortly after the quake, it said.
Operations were partially impacted by the damage caused to a small number of tools at certain facilities, the company said, adding that those did not include critical chip-making tools such as its extreme ultraviolet lithography tools.
