Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Limited (Traditional Chinese: 台灣積體電路製造股份有限公司, abbrev. TSMC) NYSE: TSM LSE: TMSD is the world's largest dedicated independent semiconductor foundry, with its headquarters and main operations located in the Hsinchu Science Park in Hsinchu, Taiwan. TSMC's market capitalization as of 24 January 2006 is US$49.23 billion.

Although TSMC offers a variety of wafer product-lines (high-voltage, mixed-signal, analog), TSMC is best known for its logic product-line. Various fabless high-tech companies such as ATI, Broadcom, Marvell, NVIDIA, and VIA are customers of TSMC.

At least one semiconductor company, LSI Logic, re-sells TSMC wafers through its ASIC design services and design IP-portfolio.

[edit] Facilities

  • One six-inch wafer fab in full operation (Fab 2)
  • Five eight-inch wafer fabs in full operation (Fabs 3, 5, 6, 7, 8)
  • Two 12-inch wafer fabs in production (Fabs 12, 14)
  • TSMC (Shanghai)
  • WaferTech, TSMC's wholly owned subsidiary eight-inch fab in Camas, Washington, USA
  • A joint venture with Philips Semiconductor and with Singapore's EDB Investments (SSMC) which has also brought increased capacity since the end of 2002

According to Taipei Times TSMC is also planning to build another fab.
