According to reports, recent market news says that the Japanese specialty gas manufacturer Chuo Glass, which supplies electronic gases to large semiconductor companies such as TSMC, will stop producing high-purity tungsten hexafluoride. In response to the news, TSMC stated on the 20th that it is estimated that this incident will not affect the normal operation of the company. TSMC's PR department responded in full yesterday: “TSMC is implementing a global procurement layout strategy, continuing to promote a multi-source supply system, and building a diversified global supplier network. At this stage, we have determined that there will be no negative impact on the company's operations.” TSMC's upstream and downstream supply chains and related suppliers all said that there is no risk of supply cuts in tungsten powder gas raw materials at this stage, and there are various alternative supply plans. It is expected that the impact of this incident on the entire industry will be very limited.
