I thought fabs are bad agains earthquakes

There was a good LTT where he toured a new fab facility in Japan. Entire building(s) basically on giant shocks. It's kind of mind blowing

This one will be designed to work during earthquake. Meaning that it won’t work without earthquakes

They are. But Taiwan is prone to earthquakes as well and seem to handle them fine

[–] errer@lemmy.world 22 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Those fabs in Taiwan, even though they look like plain boxes from the outside, are really a wonder of human ingenuity. Each machine that’s sensitive to quakes is on a vibration isolation pedestal and that pedestal is seismically braced, from what I’ve read.

Not to mention every building in Taiwan is laced with explosives in case China ever attacks…

Be me in a different life, changing a lightbulb in my Taiwanese home. Slip on the ladder and grab the light holder tearing it from the wall. The wiring breaks against the det. cord causing a neighbourhood wide chain reaction that can be seen from space.

Godzilla blesses you with a large dose of radiation.

Ahhhh, not what i was looking for! 🫠 Guess that's what i get for asking a kaiju for PC components though 😅 I'll have to remember this for next time
