TSMC is a Taiwan-based semiconductor foundry that manufactures, packages, and tests integrated circuits for customers globally. Its wafer fabrication services cover CMOS logic, mixed-signal, radio frequency, embedded memory, and BiCMOS processes. Beyond its core manufacturing, the company also produces photomasks, provides customer and engineering support, and invests in technology start-ups. Its chips serve end markets including high performance computing, smartphones, IoT, automotive, and digital consumer electronics. Headquartered in Hsinchu City, Taiwan, TSMC was incorporated in 1987 and trades on the NYSE under the ticker TSM.
As a pure-play foundry, TSMC manufactures chips designed by external customers rather than selling its own branded products, allowing it to serve fabless semiconductor firms without competing with them. The foundry model separates chip design from fabrication, and TSMC is the largest player in this segment, serving customers across the major semiconductor end markets listed above.
