Singapore-listed semiconductor players expect minimal impact from Taiwan earthquake
SINGAPORE-LISTED semiconductor companies appear insulated from the impact that Wednesday’s (Apr 3) earthquake in Taiwan could have on the broader supply chain.
In the wake of the 7.4-magnitude quake off the island’s east coast, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC) called a halt to some of its chip-making operations and evacuated staff.
TSMC is the largest manufacturer of advanced chips, with some estimates suggesting that it produces up to 90 per cent of leading-edge chips in the market. Its clients include the likes of Nvidia and Apple.
