Due to a power shortage that affects a supplier of Nitrogen Gas to the Hsinchu Science Park, UMC has suffered a reduction in nitrogen gas supply to some of its manufacturing facilities. In order to best respond to the reduced supply, UMC has shut down the operation of some of its wafer fabrication equipment. Currently, we are securing a supply of liquid nitrogen as a temporary backup supply until our nitrogen supplier has resumed normal operations. We believe that the influence to customer wafers in production is minimal, and will provide a further update as soon as we have completed our assessment of the situation. |
