TSMC is Taiwan’s largest semiconductor manufacturer and a major supplier of advanced chips.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, usually abbreviated TSMC, is the world’s leading dedicated semiconductor foundry. It manufactures chips designed by other companies rather than primarily selling chips under its own consumer brand.
This business model made TSMC a crucial partner for companies such as Nvidia, Apple, and AMD. Its factories use advanced process technologies to produce processors for smartphones, computers, data centers, automobiles, and artificial-intelligence systems.
TSMC’s market value has benefited from the expanding importance of semiconductors. A frequent mix-up is confusing TSMC with Nvidia: Nvidia designs many high-performance chips, while TSMC manufactures chips for Nvidia and numerous other customers.
