TSMC is headquartered in which Taiwanese city?

TSMC is headquartered in Hsinchu, Taiwan.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company was founded in 1987 by Morris Chang with government support and technology connections that helped establish Taiwan as a major center for semiconductor production. Its headquarters are located in Hsinchu Science Park, a key technology district in northern Taiwan.

TSMC pioneered the dedicated foundry model. Instead of designing chips under its own consumer brand, it manufactures semiconductors designed by other companies. This lets customers such as fabless chip designers use advanced manufacturing capacity without building and operating their own leading-edge factories.

Hsinchu is often confused with Taipei because Taipei is Taiwan’s largest and best-known city. Hsinchu, however, has long been associated with Taiwan’s high-technology industry and research institutions. TSMC’s importance to global markets comes from its manufacturing scale, advanced process technology, and role in producing chips for smartphones, computers, networking equipment, and artificial-intelligence systems.
