TSMC is a Taiwan-based semiconductor foundry manufacturing chips designed by its customers. It provides process and advanced packaging technologies; TSM is its US-listed depositary receipt.
History and development
Morris Chang founded TSMC in Taiwan in 1987. Its dedicated-foundry model manufactures chips designed by other companies. That role differs from integrating design and fabrication within one business and helped support an industry where designers can develop products without owning fabrication plants.
