A fire broke out at TSMC’s new manufacturing facility on Tuesday night. report The fire was discovered at 7:30 pm local time and firefighters said they had successfully extinguished it by 9:10 pm. Nobody was injured. The impact on TSMC’s manufacturing and production plans, and which customers may be affected by this unfortunate event, is not clear at the time of writing.
The facility was still under construction. The source of the fire is being investigated by the county fire department and a safety investigation is ongoing. His TSMC, located in Zhunan, part of the sprawling Hsinchu Science Park, began construction last year. So far, TSMC has completed the construction of the main building and the installation of some major factory infrastructures.
According to reports, TSMC was in the process of building a clean room facility and plumbing system on site. The chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) piping system was damaged in the course of the fire, which covered 300 square meters (3,230 square feet), along with some already installed machinery.
The Miaoli Fire Department, which successfully extinguished the fire and shared the image above, is investigating the cause of the blaze. TSMC is also working with contractors to investigate what happened Wednesday night so they can avoid mistakes that may have caused this fire.
The plan for TSMC’s Zhunan facility is to become an additional advanced IC packaging and test site. For TSMC, which will continue to promote vertical integration, this is an important business that aims to be a one-stop shop.
this is addition An advanced packaging and testing plant joining four existing facilities in Taoyuan, Hsinchu, Taichung and Tainan.Another report says the new Zhunan facility will be TSMC’s sixth A factory specializing in advanced packaging and testing. In any case, TSMC seems to have the packaging and testing work covered, but it will take some more time before Zhunan’s new capacity comes online.
Today, we reported that TSMC is sharing details about its upcoming 2nm-class process. We plan to expand our N2 plans with both N2P (performance) and N2X (extreme performance, high voltage) nodes. Check out our extensive article for more information.
