Found this while researching chips at TSCM with Canon & Ricoh
"Due to the supply shortage of chip raw materials such as wafers, capacitors, resistors, PCBs, etc., the price of raw material has been increased significantly as a result. Accordingly, chip production prices spike. Senior vice president of research and development of TSMC predict that it will take 2-3 years to solve the problem when more new wafer factories are ready for production."
