The short period of time has to make a lot of car manufacturers to reduce production due to the shortage of chip. For chip manufacturers, compared to smartphones, home appliances. The chip profit margin used on the car is not very high. Therefore, a company such as Taiwan Thai has occupied 55% of the world’s 55 percent wafer, recently, has been increased by the US pressure. However, the TSMC has been produced by the cause of water.
So today we answer two questions, is the first to lack in Taiwan? The second question is that the production chip requires a lot of water?
First we say the first question, is Taiwan lackless?
Taiwan is located in the southeast of my country. It is a very abundant area of rain, but Taiwan is a very short-on-water area, because it is an island. The large river in the island is relatively small, and freshwater resources are very scarce, although the precipitation is very powerful, but can’t stay, plus a lot of people in Taiwan, so water resources are very lacking.
According to statistics, Taiwan is currently ranked 18th in the world, so the Taiwanese government has taken various measures to relieve water problems, and restrict industrial and household water to solve increasing water shortage. Especially in 2020, due to no typhoon, the amount of precipitation in the island further decline.
In order to solve the problem of water, Taiwan has even had to reduce agricultural irrigation water, stopping Taoyuan, Hsinchu and Miao San County, part of the second phase of rice. The agricultural department of the Taiwan authorities said that he was stopped from 19,000 hectare farmland in Taibao. At present, rice positive valves, will not be harmed after stopping, and will provide amount compensation for farmers. Then use the water to save the added value of the added value.
The second problem, is the production of the chip require water?
Yes, with the rapid development of the water treatment industry, It is not preferential to have a water purification for people, and the pure water of the machine is also coming. Ultra-pure water equipment is very wide in various industries, especially the chip manufacturing industry is very high in water quality, in the production process, a large number of high purity water, ultrapure water cleaningSemi-finished products, finished products. 
According to the statistics of the enterprise social responsibility report of TSMC, TSMC has a total of more than 150,000 tons in the three major parks such as Zhuke, Zhongke and Nanke, accounting for about one-third of the scientific park. Quantity, but the water saving results have increased year by year.
US power failure causes the chip factory to close
In addition, the power outage caused by the cold weather in Texas, USA, is located in the semiconductor near Austin The factory is closed and causes the deterioration. NXP Semiconductor NV is one of the largest chip manufacturers used by automakers, which announced two factories in Austin. Samsung Electronics, the second largest semiconductor manufacturer in the world, also stopped the production of the Austin plant, and German company Yingfeiling closed in Austin’s factory due to power outages.
With the development of electrified automatic driving technology, the demand for semiconductor chips has increased, and shortage is currently available for various reasons. Original chip production capacity is serious, recently, because of Taiwan’s lack of water, the United States power down causes the associated chip factory to stop production. It seems that the problem of chip shortage will always exist for a long time.
