TAIWAN SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING CO LTD

As a foundry, we manufacture semiconductors using our manufacturing processes for our customers based on proprietary integrated circuit designs provided by them. We offer a comprehensive range of wafer fabrication processes, including processes to manufacture complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor ( CMOS ) logic, mixed-signal, radio frequency ( RF ), embedded memory, bipolar complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor ( BiCMOS , which uses CMOS transistors in conjunction with bipolar junction transistor) mixed-signal and others. We also offer design, mask making, TSMC 3DFabric advanced silicon stacking and packaging services , and testing services. We believe that our scale and capacity, particularly for advanced technologies, is a major competitive advantage. Please see Semiconductor Manufacturing Capacity and Technology and Capacity Management and Technology Upgrade Plans for a further discussion of our capacity. We count among our customers many of the world’s leading semiconductor companies, ranging from fabless semiconductor companies, system companies to integrated device manufacturers. Our Semiconductor Facilities We currently operate one 150mm wafer fab, six 200mm wafer fabs , nine 300mm wafer fabs , and seven advanced backend fabs.
