Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) and United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC) face water shortage problem.
Η Making silicon chip products is not an easy task. The production unit must always have all the appropriate consumables available. One of the most essential ingredients in the manufacture of silicon is water.
Almost every process needs water and must be constantly available to the manufacturer. According to the report from Reuters, the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) and United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC) have a water shortage problem.
The island of Taiwan is facing problems, as the hurricane period was rather mild and water reservoirs are at historically low levels.. Water restrictions apply throughout the island and reservoirs in the center and southern areas are located in 20%.
Lack of water is a big problem for them TSMC and UMC, and the two companies rely on the constant flow of water to their facilities. This is why Taiwan's largest silicon manufacturer now makes small ones water orders, delivered via water vehicles.
Η TSMC expects to compensate for the lack of water with such orders. Let's hope that this situation will not result in additional shortages in the market or an increase in production costs that will eventually reach consumers…
