Taiwan quake rattles tech industry.

The home to some of the world’s most advanced chip factories suffered its biggest earthquake in the last 25 years, temporarily halting production at display makers like Innolux and AUO, and contract chipmakers like United Microelectronic.

But it’s also home to TSMC — the world’s top chipmaker favored by Apple and Nvidia, among others — which has many supply-chain watchers concerned. 

Here’s TSMC’s statement following the magnitude-7.2 quake:

“Preventative measures were initiated according to procedure and some fabs were evacuated. All personnel are safe, and those evacuated are beginning to return to their workplaces. The company is currently confirming the details of the impact.”
