On July 21, Taiwan's Economic Daily News reported that recent market rumors indicate Japanese specialty gas supplier Central Glass is set to suspend production of high-purity tungsten hexafluoride owing to a shortage of raw materials, a development that has sparked concerns within the semiconductor industry. In response, TSMC clarified that the company adheres to a global procurement strategy, actively cultivates multi-source supply arrangements, and maintains a well-diversified supplier base. As a result, it does not anticipate any immediate impact on its operations.
