On April 3rd, a 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck Taiwan, threatening the delicate semiconductor supply chain. Taiwan is home to 60% of all semiconductor manufacturing and 92% of advanced chip production. These semiconductor facilities are equipped with top-tier capabilities for various stages of semiconductor production, including fabrication, processes, assembly, packaging, and testing. Any production slowdown has the potential to disrupt downstream production.

The quake highlights the danger of having critical component manufacturing concentrated in a small portion of the globe and how a single disruption event can potentially halt production lines.
