In Taiwan's semiconductor industry chain plagued by the epidemic, the outbreak of employee cluster infection at Jingyuan electronics, a large global semiconductor packaging and testing factory, was the most serious. As of June 6, the number of confirmed cases had risen to 195; Chaofeng electronics, another sealed and tested factory, also had an epidemic, and 11 employees had been diagnosed; It is reported that a factory in Hon Hai Group has also been suspended due to COVID-19.

Previously, Jingyuan electronics has announced the shutdown for two days, which is expected to reduce the output by 4% - 6% in June. However, with the increasingly serious epidemic, Jingyuan Electronics announced again that due to the overall shutdown of the company's foreign employees, the output is expected to be reduced by 30% - 35% in June, and the revenue will be reduced by 30% - 35% in June. It is reported that Jingyuan electronics has a monthly production capacity of 400000 wafer needles and a monthly production capacity of 400 million IC finished products. When all or part of the projects are shut down, it is expected that the output will be reduced by 4-6% in June. In addition to Jingyuan electronics and Chaofeng electronics, previously, confirmed cases have also been reported from other large semiconductor manufacturers in Taiwan, including TSMC, memory manufacturer Yuzhan, South Asia technology and TSMC's OEM, which are world-class. The four major manufacturers all unanimously stressed that the confirmed cases have not spread, the normal production of the factory will not affect the operation.

Jingyuan electronics is headquartered in Hsinchu, Taiwan, China. It was founded in 1987. It is mainly engaged in the packaging and testing business of semiconductor products. It is the largest professional testing company in the global semiconductor industry chain, and its production base is in the town of Zhu Nan, Miaoli county. In the field of professional chip testing, Jingyuan electronics can be regarded as the benchmark of mainland manufacturers. In recent years, the rising professional chip testing manufacturers in China include Liyang chip, Hualing Co., Ltd. and quean Technology (see the picture from the Evergreen Foundation Industry)

Some analysts believe that although the shutdown order has led to a significant reduction in the manpower of Jingyuan electronics, so far, the positive rate of screening is 1.45%, and the diffusion range is still controllable. If the second screening is successfully completed this week, it is expected that those without diagnosis can return to the production line. At the slowest, Jingyuan electronics can resume production in full in mid and late June, affecting the production capacity in June by about 10-20%.

From the client side, the main customers of Jingyuan electronics include MediaTek, Intel, NVIDIA, omnivision, Italy France semiconductor, Xilinx and other first-line international manufacturers. For semiconductor customers, the sealing and testing capacity is tight all over the world. The capacity shortage of Jingyuan electronics in June will inevitably affect customer shipments, and it is also very troublesome to transfer orders and change production lines in the short term.
