AMSTERDAM, Nov 14 (Reuters) - Dutch computer chip maker

Nexperia on Friday confirmed it continued to offer

alternative supply chain solutions to mitigate the disruption

caused by the dispute between the Europe-based unit and its

packaging plant in China.

"We want to state clearly that Nexperia has not stopped the

shipping of wafers altogether," the Dutch unit said in a

statement.

"We are committed to delivering wafers into the supply

chain and continue to offer alternative supply chain solutions

to mitigate disruption and maintain continuity of delivery as

much as possible."

Sources told Reuters this week the company was working

with customers on a patch that could relieve some pressure on

the auto market, where a scarcity of Nexperia chips has dented

some production of cars and parts.

Nexperia on Friday also said that according to its

calculations, the Chinese arm should be in the possession of a

"sufficient amount of wafers and finished products" to continue

operations for several months.

"Therefore, any failure to make shipments is fully the

responsibility of Nexperia's entities in China," it added.

A standoff between the European side of the business and its

Chinese plant, sparked by the seizure of Nexperia by the Dutch

government over fears of technology transfer, has snarled supply

of its chips that are key for the global automotive market.

Nexperia makes wafers, the base material for making multiple

chips, in Europe, which are then sent to its plant in Dongguan

in China where they are cut and packaged. However, due to the

standoff the European side has halted shipments to China.

The Chinese government gave some temporary relief to

carmakers this week by relaxing export controls on chips made by

the Dongguan plant. A Dutch delegation is expected to travel to

China next week for further talks.
