Chip maker TSMC has shrugged off the impact of yesterday's earthquake on the east coast of Taiwan.
At least 10 people were killed, and more than 1,000 hurt as well as 100 buildings damaged, in the magnitude 7.4 quake.
"Based on TSMC's ample experience and capabilities in earthquake response and damage prevention, as well as regular disaster drills to ensure full readiness, overall tool recovery of our fabs reached more than 70 percent within ten hours of the earthquake, with new fabs such as the Fab 18 facility reaching more than 80 percent," the silicon slinger declared in a Wednesday Taiwan Stock Exchange filing.
The filing admitted that "a small number of tools" were damaged – but critical tools such as extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography equipment emerged unscathed.
