What is TSMC?
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) is the world's largest dedicated independent semiconductor foundry. It manufactures chips for major tech companies like Apple, Nvidia, and AMD, serving as the backbone of the modern electronics industry.
History of TSMC
Founded in 1987 by Morris Chang, TSMC pioneered the dedicated foundry business model. This allowed "fabless" companies to design chips without owning factories. Today, it produces the world's most advanced microchips.
