TAIWAN chipmaker TSMC said the biggest earthquake in at least 25 years that struck the island on April 3 caused estimated losses of US$92.44 million to the company in the second quarter.
The quake is also expected to bring a 50-basis point drop to TSMC’s second quarter gross margin, it said in a filing to the Taiwan Stock Exchange.
There were no power outages or structural damage to TSMC’s fabs, and critical equipment including EUV machines were not affected, it added. REUTERS
