台湾是世界上最大的和最先进的高科技厂、一个关键的全球4500亿美元的行业提供了基本的计算能力设备,但非常耗水。
冠状病毒大流行引发全球消费者抢购电子芯片上运行,导致缺乏,台湾的芯片工厂努力塞甚至在干旱的打击。
但突然缺乏降雨使一个坏情况变得更糟的生产过程使用每年数十亿加仑的水来避免产品污染。
“从笔记本电脑,显示器,电视,智能手机,平板电脑,汽车,有一个芯片的总体短缺。我们以前没见过这样的,”发言人埃里克·李Himax技术、芯片设计用于屏幕显示,告诉法新社。
台湾是世界上最潮湿的地方之一,年降雨量2600毫米。
台风经常摔进岛从东在雨季和补充水库。
但是56年来第一次,没有台风登陆台湾在2020年。
,在今年前三个月,降雨通常不到40%的利率。
在南台湾,水平最大的水库Tsengwen已跌至15年低点不到12%容量而百合水库是完全干燥。
水的供应、本月早些时候,政府实施限水超过一百万家庭和企业在台湾中部。
许多农民的田地在没有和家庭水龙头切断了两天一个星期。
“这已经开始使半导体工厂紧张当他们有更多半导体命令,“虹膜庞说,荷兰国际集团(ING)台湾的经济专家,他说目前的芯片短缺可能会持续到明年,可能到2023年。
“这是因为需求可能崛起以及全球经济复苏,但建设新的生产线可以是一个缓慢的过程。”
台湾的芯片代工厂已经难以满足日益高涨的半导体需求。
在汽车行业,在大流行早期许多芯片订单取消,危机已经如此糟糕,等主要汽车制造商福特大众、日产和缩减生产,导致估计今年的约600亿美元的收入损失。
台湾半导体制造公司(台积电),全球最大的合同芯片制造商,已表示,它是全速运行的“与每个部门的需求”。
制造半导体是一个巨大的水密集型过程在整个制造过程,从清洗芯片本身,保持先进的铸造厂hyper-sterile和洗掉垃圾的化学物质。
台积电仅使用156000吨的水一天在台湾的三个科学工业园区2019年相当于60个奥运会标准大小的游泳池。
公司在芯片制造商已经开始货运在水铸造厂和淡化担心干旱会进一步打击了生产。
“台积电一直保持应急计划每个阶段的用水限制……到目前为止没有对生产的影响,”在一份声明中说。
本月台积电表示,它计划在未来三年投资1000亿美元建立新的生产线。
——集中在亚洲——艾伦•帕特森从工业杂志EE时报称水资源短缺不太可能严重影响芯片制造商。
但是有一个危险的“半导体的潜在超额预定订单”。
“考虑到迫切需要安全芯片的供应,一些公司可能比他们实际需要订购更多的物资,”他告诉法新社。
但长期干旱可能开始生产。
和一些批评人士敦促台湾挖井,以弥补时间的降雨短缺,尤其是在气候变化导致少雨的天气模式。
芯片短缺也关注如何绝大多数半导体——尤其是最重要的最新5 g技术,在两个地方,台湾和韩国。
台积电已经宣布计划建立一个新的工厂在亚利桑那州的推动,以分散其全球供应链。
我们芯片的竞争对手英特尔还宣布,计划投资200亿美元建设两个新工厂在亚利桑那州的提高产量在国内和欧洲的计划。
“有80%的供应在亚洲是不美味的方式对世界有其最关键的技术,”英特尔的首席执行官Pat Gelsinger告诉BBC。
”,世界需要一个更加平衡的供应链来完成。”

<\/figure>Taipei: In the foothills of Taiwan's mountainous spine, reservoirs<\/a> are running dry as the island experiences its worst drought in decades -- a crisis that risks deepening an already acute global semiconductor shortage.Taiwan is home to some of the world's biggest and most advanced high-tech foundries, a linchpin of a global $450 billion industry that provides the computing power for essential devices<\/a>, but is extremely water-intensive.
The coronavirus pandemic sparked a global run on microchips as consumers snapped up electronics -- causing a dearth that Taiwan's microchip factories were struggling to plug even before the drought hit.
<\/div><\/div>Those foundries are already running at full capacity trying to meet demand.
But the sudden lack of rain is making a bad situation worse for a manufacturing process that uses billions of gallons of water a year to stave off contamination of its products.
\"From notebooks, monitors, TVs<\/a>, smartphones, tablets to cars, there is an overall shortage of chips. We haven't seen anything like this before,\" Eric Li, a spokesman for Himax Technologies, which designs chips used in screen displays, told AFP.
Taiwan is one of the world's wetter places, with an annual rainfall of 2,600 millimetres.
Typhoons regularly slam into the island from the east during the rainy season and replenish reservoirs.
But for the first time in 56 years, no typhoon made landfall in Taiwan in 2020.
And, during the first three months of this year, rainfall has been less than 40 percent of the usual rate.
In southern Taiwan, levels at the largest reservoir Tsengwen have fallen to a 15-year low at less than 12 percent capacity while the Baihe reservoir is completely dry.
Water rationing, <\/strong> Earlier this month the government imposed water rationing for more than one million households and businesses in central Taiwan.
Many farmers' fields are having to go without and homes have taps cut off for two days a week.

Many farmers' fields are having to go without and homes have taps cut off for two days a week.
<\/div><\/div>The island's three major science parks, where many leading tech companies are based, have been ordered to slash water usage by up to 15 percent.
\"This has started to make semiconductor factories nervous when they have more semiconductor orders,\" said Iris Pang, a Taiwan economy specialist at ING, who said the current chip shortage would probably last into next year and possibly into 2023.
\"This is because demand is likely to rise along with the global recovery but building new production lines can be a slow process.\"
Taiwan's chip foundries are already struggling to meet soaring demand for semiconductors.
In the car industry, which cancelled many chip orders early in the pandemic, the crunch has got so bad that major automakers such as Ford<\/a>, Nissan and Volkswagen have scaled back production, leading to estimates of some $60 billion in lost revenue for this year.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company<\/a> (TSMC<\/a>), the world's largest contract microchip maker, has said it is operating at full capacity \"with demand from every sector\".
Making semiconductors is a hugely water intensive process throughout the manufacturing process, from cleaning the chips themselves, keeping state of the art foundries hyper-sterile and washing away waste chemicals.
TSMC alone used 156,000 metric tons of water a day across Taiwan's three science industrial parks in 2019 - the equivalent of 60 Olympic-size swimming pools.
The company is among chipmakers who have started trucking in water to its foundries and has played down concerns that the drought will further hit production.
\"TSMC has always maintained contingency plans for each stage of water restrictions... So far there's no impact on production,\" it said in a statement.
This month TSMC said it was planning to invest $100 billion over the next three years to build new production lines.
- Concentration in Asia - Alan Patterson from industry magazine EE Times said water shortages were unlikely to seriously impact chipmakers at this point.
But there is a danger in \"the potential overbooking of semiconductor orders\".
\"Given the urgent need to secure supplies of chips, some companies may be ordering more supplies than they actually need,\" he told AFP.
But a prolonged drought could start to hit manufacturing.
And some critics have urged Taiwan to dig more wells to make up for periods of rainfall shortages, especially as climate change leads to less predictable weather patterns.
The chip shortage has also focused attention on how the vast majority of semi-conductors -- especially the thinnest ones vital for the latest 5G technologies -- are made in just two places, Taiwan and South Korea.
TSMC has announced plans to build a new facility in Arizona as part of a push to diversify its global supply chain.
US chip rival Intel<\/a> has also unveiled plans to spend $20 billion building two new plants in Arizona as part of a plan to boost production at home and in Europe.
\"Having 80 percent of all supply in Asia simply isn't a palatable manner for the world to have its view of the most critical technology,\" Intel chief executive Pat Gelsinger told the BBC.
\"And the world needs a more balanced supply chain to accomplish that.\"
