Twenty-one Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) employees were taken to the hospital on Wednesday because of a gas leak at a chip fabrication plant in Hsinchu, Taiwan, a company spokesman said. The leaked gas was arsine, a highly toxic and flammable gas that is used exclusively in semiconductor manufacturing. The gas leak occurred inside TSMC's Fab 7, a fab that produces chips using 200-millimeter silicon wafers. The gas leak did not require TSMC to halt operations at Fab 7 and the facility is operating normally, according to the company spokesman. The 21 TSMC employees are expected to be released from the hospital by the end of the day.
