On the 16th, South Korean technology media outlet ETNEWS published a report, citing industry insiders as revealing that the delivery cycles for key components of semiconductor manufacturing equipment have more than doubled, plunging the industry into a severe supply shortage. An executive from a deposition equipment company disclosed that components, which previously took four months to arrive post-ordering, now require a staggering 10 months. Meanwhile, a manufacturer specializing in semiconductor laser processing equipment may encounter an extended delivery period of up to 40 months for critical components sourced from Japan, further exacerbating the supply chain woes.
