[Taiwan Quake] Semicon Makers Outside Taiwan to Increase Production
October 1, 1999 (TOKYO) -- Semiconductor makers in Japan, the United States and Korea have started to receive more orders in the aftermath of Taiwan's massive earthquake on Sept. 21.




Since production lines already were operating near full capacity before the earthquake, older-generation lines are being returned to operation. The demand for wafers, therefore, is increasing as well.

DRAMs have been in dire shortage. Some manufacturers expect demand to surge, and they are starting to secure wafers in advance.

Those chips will be shipped around December.
