Overview
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company makes and sells integrated circuits and wafer devices for other companies’ designs; its chips go into personal computers, communications systems, automotive and industrial equipment and consumer electronics.[2] Forbes records it was founded by Chung Mou Chang on 21 February 1987 and is headquartered in Hsinchu.[2] Sales were US$133.0bn, up 37.5%, and profit US$62.5bn, a 47% margin.[2] TSMC is the largest semiconductor company outside the United States and the second-largest in the ranking, with a market value of US$1.86 trillion.[2] As a foundry, it manufactures chips designed by companies such as those in this list rather than selling its own branded products, so it competes for manufacturing capacity with Samsung, Intel’s foundry business and SMIC, ranked twenty-third.
