WHat will happen with semiconductor industry if Fukushima melts !?!
Nomura warned that the quake may result in shortages of aluminium substrates for hard disk drives and silicon wafers, with Shin-Etsu Chemical and Sumco reporting interruptions to production. Mimasu Semiconductor , which makes 300-mm ingots, is also closed with no immediate timetable for restart, Nomura said.
BAD HARDWARE: The trouble is already mounted. Even Without reactor melting.
