diVit - <What happens to a foundry on stand-by-power?>

Equipment shuts down while emergency lights turn on and life safety systems continue to run probably at a diminished but capacity but enough that people can safely exit the building.

<Are wafers lost?>

Minority percentage.

<Is production at a stop?>

Yes.

<Business as usual?>

Sort of. Power failures in wafer fabs are a fairly common occurrence, although it takes some time to bring the equipment back up.
