Taiwanese contract manufacturers were hit by earthquake just before the festive holidays, which ended just today. Accordingly, the estimate of the scale of destruction TSMC could adjust only now.
Under the specified estimates, due to the earthquake TSMC in this quarter have reduced the volume of silicon wafers manufacture by more than 1%. The equipment at the enterprises of Fab 6 and Fab 14B has been restored in full, and Fab 14 by the earthquake suffered most. However, TSMC did not reduce the forecast consolidated revenues for the first quarter this year - this figure should remain in the range of $ 5.9 - 6.0 billion.
The manufacturer Innolux LCD panels from the earthquake affected only part of the production facilities, located in the industrial park STSP. Touched upon the most modern production of 5G and 6G generations, on their return to normal operation would take a week.
